Staande boerin met hark 1824

"Staande boerin met hark" (Standing Peasant Woman with Rake), created in 1824 by Anthonie Willem Hendrik Nolthenius de Man, is a detailed pencil drawing depicting a woman in traditional Dutch clothing holding a rake. The woman is portrayed standing in a field, her simple attire and the rake highlighting her rural lifestyle. The artist's attention to detail, particularly in the woman's clothing and the rake, contributes to the realism of this 19th-century artwork. This drawing is an example of genre painting, which often portrays everyday life and people from all walks of life.
