Naaister 1626 - 1677

"Naaister" is an etching created by Dutch artist Thomas Wijck between 1626 and 1677. This work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, portrays a group of figures engaged in daily life activities. The composition depicts a woman seated, seemingly sewing, while another figures watches, and a man rests on the ground. The use of fine lines and shading, characteristic of Wijck's style, brings a sense of realism and depth to the scene. This etching exemplifies Wijck's talent for capturing the ordinary details of everyday life, making it a valuable documentation of 17th-century Dutch society.
