Jonge vrouw aan tafel met een prentalbum 1837 - 1853

"Jonge vrouw aan tafel met een prentalbum" (Young Woman at a Table with a Picture Album) is an 1837-1853 lithograph by George Maile (1800-1842). The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a young woman seated in a chair, gazing intently at a book. The delicate details of her dress and the intricate patterned tablecloth suggest a sense of refinement and domesticity common in 19th-century portraiture. Maile's use of soft shading and a focus on the subject's thoughtful expression contribute to the piece's overall sense of intimacy and realism.
