Vrouw die namen in een boom grift 1661

"Vrouw die namen in een boom grift" (Woman carving names in a tree) is a watercolor painting by Dutch artist Gesina ter Borch, created in 1661. The painting depicts a woman carving names into a tree trunk while standing near a body of water. In the distance, a town can be seen, with a boat traversing the water. The painting's detailed rendering of the woman, the tree, and the surrounding landscape reflects ter Borch's skill in capturing the beauty of everyday life. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, the artwork offers a glimpse into Dutch life and landscape during the 17th century.
