"Melkmeisje" is an etching by Dutch artist Jacob Hoolaart, created between 1728 and 1789. The small-scale artwork depicts a milkmaid walking with two pails hanging from a yoke. Hoolaart, known for his engravings, captured the milkmaid in a simple yet expressive pose, showcasing his talent for detailed linework. This small, delicate artwork is an example of the genre of genre painting, a popular subject during the Dutch Golden Age, which often depicted scenes from everyday life.
