"Boerin uit Vlieland" (meaning "Farmwoman from Vlieland") is an etching created before 1713 by Dutch artist Pieter Pickaert (1669-1737). The artwork depicts a woman in traditional Vlieland attire, showcasing the unique clothing styles of the time. The etching, measuring 260 mm by 158 mm, likely served as a social document, capturing the everyday life of a local farmer. It's an example of the genre of costume studies, common during the Dutch Golden Age, and provides a glimpse into the visual culture of the time.
