Zittende Noordhollandse boerin, in profiel naar rechts 1683 - 1733

"Zittende Noordhollandse boerin, in profiel naar rechts" is a graphite drawing by Bernard Picart, a Dutch artist known for his portraits and landscapes. This delicate, small-scale work, dated between 1683 and 1733, depicts a seated woman in profile, possibly a farmer from North Holland. The simple composition and meticulous detail of the woman's clothing and features suggest a study in observation and realism. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Picart's skill in capturing the essence of daily life in 17th-century Dutch society.
