Abraham Bosse's etching, "Boerin met een mand fruit en een mand met kippen", depicts a woman carrying a basket of fruit and another basket with chickens, likely a farmer's wife, walking towards a village in the background. The image, created between 1626 and 1628, highlights the rural life of 17th-century Europe through meticulous details and a strong sense of realism. This piece is a fine example of Bosse's skill as an engraver, capturing both the woman's stoic demeanor and the serenity of the surrounding landscape. "Boerin met een mand fruit en een mand met kippen", now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies the artistic style of the Dutch Golden Age.
