Vrouw met mand bij een pijprokende man 1825 - 1835

"Vrouw met mand bij een pijprokende man" (Woman with a basket by a pipe-smoking man) is a lithograph by Jean-Baptiste Madou, created between 1825 and 1835. The artwork depicts a woman in traditional Dutch clothing, holding a basket and speaking to a man who sits on a rock and smokes a pipe. It provides a glimpse into the everyday life of Dutch people in the 19th century. This work is a fine example of the genre of "costumes civils", popular during Madou's time and considered a subgenre of genre painting, focusing on realistic depictions of clothing and social customs. This lithograph is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
