"Boekweit zevende jonge vrouw" is an etching by Frédéric Auguste La Guillermie, created in 1875. The etching depicts a woman standing on a beach, holding a large fishing net. The woman is likely a fisherwoman from the region of Normandy in France, known for its buckwheat cultivation. This work captures the daily life of the people of Normandy and is a good example of the Realist movement in art. The detailed depiction of the woman's attire, the texture of the sand, and the realistic depiction of the fishing net suggest a strong sense of realism.
