Handwerkende vrouw 1839

"Handwerkende vrouw" (Working Woman) is an 1839 print by Jean Théodore Joseph Linnig, a Dutch painter and printmaker. The print, measuring 362 mm in height and 234 mm in width, depicts a woman seated and working with a small loom. The woman's focus and the intricate details of the loom suggest the artist's interest in depicting the everyday lives of working people. The work is a fine example of Linnig's skill in printmaking and his keen observation of his subjects. Linnig's work often focused on realistic scenes of daily life and is representative of the 19th-century Dutch art movement.
