Lezende vrouw 1650 - 1655

"Lezende vrouw" is a small etching by Willem Drost, a Dutch artist who lived from 1633 to 1659. This artwork was created sometime between 1650 and 1655. The etching depicts a seated woman, possibly a peasant, in a simple dress and cap, looking down and seemingly absorbed in reading. The lines of the etching are delicate and expressive, capturing the subject in a relaxed and intimate moment. This etching is a fine example of Drost's talent for capturing realistic details and emotions in his work.
