Boerin met haar hand in een kous 1887 - 1911

"Boerin met haar hand in een kous" (1887-1911) is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Gust van de Wall Perné (1877-1911). This illustration, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a surprised farmer woman standing outside a doorway, one hand reaching out to her lost stocking. The scene, rendered with detail and humor, provides a glimpse into everyday life in rural Netherlands. The artwork's composition and black and white palette give it a classic, almost timeless feel.
