Vrouw bij een open raam 1800 - 1878

"Vrouw bij een open raam" (Woman at an open window) is a detailed etching created between 1800 and 1878 by Dutch artist J.H. Pluygers. The work depicts a woman, clad in a simple dress and hood, peering out of a window with a contemplative expression. The etching's intricate lines, capturing the textures of the brick wall and the wooden window frame, convey a sense of realism and depth. The woman's pensive gaze and the partially open window suggest a moment of introspection and quiet contemplation, a recurring theme in Dutch genre paintings.
