Juli: een oogstende vrouw 1645

Reinier van Persijn's etching "Juli: een oogstende vrouw" (1645) depicts a young woman, possibly a goddess, holding a staff and looking at the viewer. The scene is set in a rural landscape with a group of figures harvesting in the distance. The scene depicts the traditional agricultural practices of the era. The etching, created by the Dutch artist Reinier van Persijn (1614-1668), showcases the intricate details and the strong sense of realism typical of the Baroque period. This piece, now located in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, is a fine example of van Persijn's skilled work in etching and engraving.
