Zittende boerenvrouw 1605 - 1647

"Zittende boerenvrouw" (Seated Peasant Woman) is a 17th-century etching by Simon van de Passe. This small print depicts a woman in traditional clothing, seated and looking down. The woman is dressed in a long, flowing gown and a wide-brimmed hat. The use of hatching and cross-hatching to create shading, is characteristic of etching and gives the image a sense of depth. The artwork is on display at the Rijksmuseum, and provides a glimpse into the daily lives of ordinary people during this period.
