Dame staand bij kast 1793

Friedrich Rehberg's 1793 etching "Dame staand bij kast" depicts a woman in a simple gown reaching into a cabinet for a plate of food. A young girl stands beside her, observing. This domestic scene, likely set in a kitchen or pantry, offers a glimpse into everyday life in the late 18th century. The detailed rendering of the figures and the surrounding objects creates a sense of realism, characteristic of Rehberg's style. The work is notable for its simple yet expressive composition, capturing a tender moment between a mother and her daughter. Rehberg's etching showcases the artist's skill in portraying everyday life with sensitivity and precision.
