Staande vrouw met een emmer onder de arm 1790 - 1852

This watercolor painting, "Staande vrouw met een emmer onder de arm", created between 1790 and 1852 by Dutch artist Pieter Christoffel Wonder, depicts a woman in traditional garb holding a bucket. The woman's posture and attire suggest she may be a working-class individual, perhaps a washerwoman or a milkmaid. Wonder's detailed rendering of the woman's clothes and the bucket highlights the artist's interest in everyday life. The simple background and the woman's isolated figure emphasize her presence and create a sense of quiet contemplation. The watercolor medium lends a soft, atmospheric quality to the painting, capturing the delicate details of the woman's clothing and the light playing on her face.
