Vrouw doet de was op een erf 1888

"Vrouw doet de was op een erf" is a black and white etching by Dutch artist Philip Zilcken, created in 1888. It depicts a woman doing laundry in a rural courtyard. The scene is filled with details of daily life, including a small child watching from a balcony, ducks in the grass, and laundry hanging on a line. Zilcken’s technique is expressive and atmospheric, with soft lines and tonal contrasts that give the image a sense of quiet contemplation.
