Slapende vrouw in de hoek van een kamer 1637 - 1678

"Slapende vrouw in de hoek van een kamer" is an etching created by an anonymous artist sometime between 1637 and 1678. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman sleeping in a chair. The etching's delicate lines and shading, characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age, convey a sense of quietude and introspective contemplation. The figure's relaxed posture and the dimly lit setting enhance the sense of solitude and repose. This small-scale work, measuring just 170 mm by 126 mm, offers an intimate glimpse into the daily life of a woman during this period.
