Boerin uit Molkwerum before 1713

"Boerin uit Molkwerum" is an anonymous etching created before 1713, now held in the Rijksmuseum. The work depicts a woman and a child, presumably from the village of Molkerum, dressed in traditional clothing, possibly referencing a specific event or custom. The detail and composition of the figures, along with the background landscape and the text at the bottom, suggest that the artwork is a social document, offering insight into Dutch rural life in the early 18th century. The etching provides a valuable glimpse into the clothing, customs, and everyday life of a specific community.
