Meisje, een lantaarn ontstekend 1795

"Meisje, een lantaarn ontstekend," created in 1795 by Dutch artist Abraham Delfos, depicts a young woman in a dimly lit room, preparing to light a lantern. The scene is rendered with a sense of realism, highlighting the everyday life of a young woman in the 18th century. The woman is carefully lighting a candle, casting a warm glow on the objects surrounding her, including a basket, a pitcher, and a bowl of fruit. This artwork, a small-scale drawing, exemplifies Delfos' talent in capturing the intimate details of daily life.
