De groentevrouw 1794

"De Groentevrouw" (The Vegetable Woman), painted in 1794 by Benjamin Wolff, depicts a young boy offering a basket of produce to an older woman. The painting captures a moment of everyday life in the 18th century Netherlands, showcasing the importance of fresh food and the role of vendors in the community. The scene, set against a backdrop of a simple building and a rural landscape, evokes the peacefulness of life outside the bustling cities. Wolff, known for his genre paintings, employed soft, muted colors to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in this charming work.
