Breistertje 1923 - 1925

"Breistertje" is a woodcut print created by Dutch artist Salomon Garf between 1923 and 1925. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman sitting outdoors working on something. The woman is positioned in the right foreground while a farmhouse is visible in the background, with a sunflower in the foreground on the left. Garf's use of bold lines and contrasting black and white tones gives the artwork a strong sense of realism and captures the everyday life of a rural woman. The composition and subject matter are reminiscent of the artist's interest in depicting the simple yet profound realities of working-class life.
