Kerker met vrouw geketend aan een lage muur 1825 - 1863

"Kerker met vrouw geketend aan een lage muur" (Dungeon with a Woman Chained to a Low Wall) is a lithograph by Belgian artist Guillaume Joseph Vertommen, created between 1825 and 1863. The artwork depicts a woman in a dark, dimly lit room, seemingly chained to a wall. The lithograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, uses stark contrasts and dramatic chiaroscuro to create a sense of isolation and despair, highlighting the woman's vulnerability in her confinement. Vertommen's work is known for its social commentary and exploration of human suffering, and this piece likely reflects these themes.
