Vrouw voor de haard 1887 - 1952

"Vrouw voor de haard" (Woman by the Hearth) is an etching created by Dutch artist Chris van der Windt in 1952, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The print depicts a woman seated in a chair facing a fireplace, with a dog at her feet. The work is an example of van der Windt's preference for depicting everyday scenes and domestic interiors, often with a sense of quiet intimacy and contemplation. The etching's minimalist style and use of light and shadow contribute to the work's subtle mood.
