Vrouw met doek over haar arm, achter haar staat een mand op de grond 1630 - 1715

This etching by Salomon Savery, titled "Vrouw met doek over haar arm, achter haar staat een mand op de grond" depicts a woman standing in a rural setting. The woman is dressed in simple clothing and is holding a cloth over her arm, her worn, lined face suggests a life of hardship. Behind her sits a basket on the ground, hinting at her work and the challenges she faces. The etching is characteristic of Savery's work, which often featured scenes of everyday life, particularly those depicting humble people and their daily activities. This artwork is an excellent example of the Dutch genre painting tradition, capturing the essence of a particular time and place with realistic detail and pathos.
