Interieur met oude vrouw die appels schilt 1850 - 1913

"Interieur met oude vrouw die appels schilt" (Interior with an Old Woman Peeling Apples), a 19th-century etching by Emile Frédéric Salmon, depicts a woman in a dimly lit interior. The woman, dressed in dark clothing, is seated near a fireplace, peeling apples. The scene is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the furnishings and the woman's posture. The etching captures the quiet intimacy of domestic life, a theme often explored in genre painting, and showcases Salmon's skill in capturing the nuances of light and shadow. This artwork is a testament to the artistry of etching and the enduring appeal of domestic scenes.
