Boereninterieur 1761

"Boereninterieur", an etching by Dutch artist Robbert Muys (1742-1825) depicts a scene of everyday life in a simple Dutch farmhouse. Created in 1761, this artwork shows the interior of a rustic dwelling with three figures seated by a fireplace. The detailed drawing showcases Muys' mastery of light and shadow, rendering the humble setting with realistic accuracy. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this intimate portrayal of peasant life offers a glimpse into 18th-century Dutch society.
