Bedelares Possibly 1772 - 1833

"Bedelares" is an etching by Dutch artist Mathias de Sallieth, depicting a woman in traditional clothing, possibly from the 18th century. The drawing, which is housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the woman's worn clothing and posture, likely representing a beggar or a person of lower social standing. De Sallieth, known for his meticulous depictions of daily life, was active in the late 18th century, making this work a valuable example of his artistic style and interest in societal representations.
