Breistertje 1894 - 1908

"Breistertje" is a black and white etching by Dutch artist Henri Koetser created between 1894 and 1908. The etching depicts a young girl sitting in a field, likely a Dutch landscape, with her back to the viewer. The girl's focus is on an object she holds in her hand, her face subtly obscured by a cap. The detailed depiction of foliage and the distant figures on a hill behind her create a sense of depth and provide a glimpse into rural life. The work is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
