Vissersvrouw 1880 - 1900

"Vissersvrouw" (Fisherwoman) is a portrait by Dutch painter Marinus van der Maarel, painted between 1880 and 1900. The painting depicts the head and shoulders of an older woman wearing a white cap. Van der Maarel was known for his portraits and genre paintings, and this work is a fine example of his ability to capture the dignity of his subjects. The use of loose, expressive brushstrokes gives the painting a sense of realism and immediacy.
