Boerin uit Zaandam before 1713

This anonymous etching, titled "Boerin uit Zaandam," depicts a woman and a child dressed in traditional Dutch clothing. The woman, identified in the caption as a "Paysanne de Saardam," wears a long, flowing dress and a cap or hood. The child, also in traditional attire, is shown with a stick in hand, possibly a shepherd’s crook. The scene is likely set in the Dutch town of Zaandam, with a glimpse of a building in the background. The artwork is a striking example of the Dutch tradition of depicting everyday life and folk costumes.
