Gelderse boer en boerin 1807

"Gelderse boer en boerin," created by Ludwig Gottlieb Portman in 1807, is a depiction of a Dutch farmer and his wife in their traditional clothing. The colorful attire of the woman, particularly her striped skirt and patterned apron, stands in contrast to the more subdued clothing of the man. This watercolor, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of rural Dutch people in the early 19th century, showcasing their unique fashion and rural customs.
