Drie keukenmeiden aan het werk 1746

This 1746 engraving by F.J. Walther, titled “Drie keukenmeiden aan het werk”, depicts three Dutch maids working in a kitchen. The scene is full of activity, with one maid tending to a fire, another seated at a table, and the third in the foreground seemingly preparing something in a bucket. The detailed depiction of the kitchen space, including the fireplace, windows, and utensils, offers a glimpse into the daily life of Dutch domestic service during this period.
