Interieur van een boerenwoning met vijf figuren 1635 - 1692

This etching by Dutch artist Justus van den Nijpoort, created between 1635 and 1692, depicts a scene of everyday life in a peasant's home. Five figures are shown, with the central figure being a woman, possibly the mother of the family, seated in a chair. The other figures are a man, a boy, a girl, and a dog. The scene is set in a simple interior, with a fireplace and other household objects visible. The etching offers a glimpse into the daily life of a peasant family, with everyday objects and activities on display. The oval format of the artwork adds a sense of intimacy, making the viewer feel as if they are witnessing a private moment in the family's life. The detailed lines of the etching create a realistic and engaging scene, with the figures and the interior details rendered with meticulous precision.
