Vrouw stuurt een man weg uit haar kamer 1803

"Vrouw stuurt een man weg uit haar kamer" (Woman sends a man away from her room) is an 1803 etching by Dutch artist Reinier Vinkeles (1741-1816), now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The print depicts a woman, seemingly in distress, rejecting a man's advances. The scene is set indoors, with the woman's posture and gesture of pushing the man away, while he is accompanied by others, emphasizing her determination to be alone. The intimate setting, contrasted with the woman's forceful action, creates a dramatic tension characteristic of Vinkeles's work, which often explored themes of social interaction and human emotion.
