Waardin uit Bacharach aan de Rijn en burgermeisje uit Frankfurt 1728

This 1728 etching by Bernard Picart depicts two women in traditional dress. The figures, identified as a "waardin" (innkeeper) and a "burgermeisje" (bourgeois girl), represent the diversity of dress in Germany during the early 18th century. Picart was a Dutch artist known for his detailed depictions of everyday life, often featuring clothing and customs of different cultures. This work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the social and fashion trends of the time.
