Een vrouw uit Lacedemon toont haar kinderen aan een tapijtenweefster before 1652

"Een vrouw uit Lacedemon toont haar kinderen aan een tapijtenweefster" is a 16th-century etching by Zacharias Dolendo, depicting a woman from the ancient Greek city-state of Sparta showcasing her children to a tapestry weaver. The engraving is likely a part of a series that showcased the morals of women in ancient Greece. The composition features a richly adorned room with a table draped in fabric and several figures including a woman, a young girl, and a weaver, demonstrating a sense of social hierarchy. Dolendo's use of intricate detail captures the clothing, furniture, and expressions of the figures, providing a glimpse into 16th-century interpretations of historical scenes. The etching is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands, a testament to its historical and artistic significance.
