Jonge geleerde en een vrouw aan het klavecimbel 1847 - 1889

"Jonge geleerde en een vrouw aan het klavecimbel" (Young Scholar and a Woman at the Harpsichord), an etching by William Unger (1837-1932), depicts a scene of 17th-century domestic life. The composition is dominated by the figures of a man seated at a table, seemingly studying, and a woman standing at a harpsichord. The elaborate interior setting suggests a wealthy household, hinting at the social and cultural context of music and intellectual pursuits in the Dutch Golden Age. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, demonstrating its historical significance and artistic value.
