"Vrouw uit Friesland" (Woman from Friesland) is an etching by Pieter van den Berge, dating from after 1694. The artwork depicts a woman in traditional Frisian attire, standing next to a man who may be her husband. The woman wears a long dress, a jacket, and a hat, while the man is in breeches and a jacket. The etching, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of the Dutch tradition of portraiture, focusing on the depiction of individuals from a specific social class. This piece offers a glimpse into the dress of the Frisian people in the late 17th century, making it a valuable source for historians.
