Vrouw met naaigerei 1743 - 1787

"Vrouw met naaigerei" (Woman with Sewing Supplies), an etching by Johan Christiaan Elin, depicts a woman seated at a table, illuminated by a single candle. Elin, a Dutch artist known for his detailed depictions of everyday life, captures the quiet solitude of the scene. The woman's focused expression and the meticulously rendered details of her clothing and sewing supplies emphasize the importance of domestic labor in 18th-century Dutch society.
