Een man betaalt een vrouw 1741 - 1820

"Een man betaalt een vrouw" ("A man pays a woman"), a red chalk drawing by Abraham Delfos (1731-1820), depicts a man in a cloak handing money to a woman. The woman holds a jug in her other hand, suggesting a possible transaction for goods. Delfos, a Dutch artist, captured the daily life of ordinary people in his drawings, offering a glimpse into 18th-century Dutch society. This drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Delfos's ability to convey a sense of realism and narrative within a simple, yet evocative composition.
