Onderbroek, handwerk c. 1888 - 1894

"Onderbroek, handwerk" (c. 1888-1894) by G. Glas is a simple yet evocative piece of textile art. The artwork is a pair of white linen underpants, meticulously crafted by hand. The loose fit and drawstring waist suggest a garment designed for comfort and practicality, perhaps for a child or a person engaged in physical labor. This piece offers a glimpse into everyday life in the late 19th century through the lens of utilitarian clothing, highlighting the craftsmanship and resourcefulness of the time.
