"Hollandse boerin, rieten mand aan de arm" (Dutch Peasant Woman with a Wicker Basket on her Arm) is an etching created in 1728 by Bernard Picart. It depicts a Dutch peasant woman in traditional dress, standing by a fence with a wicker basket on her arm. The etching is part of a series of prints by Picart that documented the different costumes and occupations of people in the Netherlands.
