Rouwende vrouw 1826 - 1886

"Rouwende vrouw" ("Mourning Woman") is an 1826-1886 lithograph by Dutch artist Dirk Jurriaan Sluyter (1811-1886). The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman draped in a somber cloak, her head bowed in grief. The detailed lines of the print capture the woman's sorrow as she stands by a stone wall, her clasped hands reflecting the depth of her despair. Sluyter's work, often focusing on emotional themes, is a testament to the power of visual art in conveying human feeling.
