Breiende vrouw aan het raam 1883

"Breiende vrouw aan het raam" (Knitting Woman by the Window) is an etching by Dutch artist Louise Danse (1867-1948). This 1883 artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a woman in a chair, seen from behind, engaged in knitting. The composition is simple, with a window and potted plants providing a backdrop. Danse's use of loose lines and expressive shading gives the piece a sense of immediacy and intimacy, capturing a fleeting moment of domesticity. The etching's delicate lines and subtle tonal shifts create a sense of depth and realism.
