Boerenvrouw staand bij een haard 1886 - 1912

"Boerenvrouw staand bij een haard" (1886-1912) is an etching by Emanuel Samson van Beever, a Dutch artist known for his realistic portrayals of rural life. The image depicts a woman standing in a dimly lit interior, likely a farmhouse kitchen, with a large fireplace dominating the scene. The woman, clad in traditional Dutch clothing, appears to be tending to a hearth, her figure partially obscured by the dark shadows. This intimate and atmospheric depiction of everyday life in the Dutch countryside exemplifies van Beever's mastery of etching, highlighting the simplicity and beauty of ordinary moments.
