Vrouw weent bij een graf 1723

"Vrouw weent bij een graf" (Woman Weeps at a Grave) is an etching created in 1723 by the Dutch artist Andries van (Sr.) Buysen. The print depicts a grieving woman seated by a tomb, her face obscured by her hand, in a somber landscape. The central monument, topped with a skull, is intricately detailed with cherubs, skulls, and other symbolic imagery, highlighting the themes of mortality and sorrow prevalent in Dutch art of the era. This etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a powerful example of 18th-century Dutch printmaking.
