Staande melkvrouw, die melk uitgiet in een koperen kan 1797 - 1838

"Staande melkvrouw, die melk uitgiet in een koperen kan" is a watercolor drawing by Johannes Christiaan Schotel, a Dutch artist known for his genre paintings of daily life. The drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a milkmaid in a simple dress and headscarf, pouring milk from a pail into a copper jug. This depiction of a common Dutch occupation was likely intended to be a study for a larger work, and showcases Schotel's skillful use of light and shadow to create a sense of realism.
