De deugdzame vrouw geeft haar gezin te eten 1555

"De deugdzame vrouw geeft haar gezin te eten" (The virtuous woman feeds her family), created by Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert in 1555, depicts a woman serving food to her family at a table. This Dutch engraving, a small work measuring just 203 mm by 247 mm, emphasizes the importance of domesticity and virtue. The intricate detail of the scene, including the ornate clothing and the architectural background, showcases Coornhert's masterful skill. The scene likely draws inspiration from biblical stories emphasizing the virtues of hospitality and family unity. This artwork is currently held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
