EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white chalk drawing, titled "Working Woman" by Gerritsz Quiringh van Brekelenkam, dates back to the mid-17th century. The Dutch artist masterfully captures the essence of domestic life during the Baroque era with intricate detail and a direct gaze. The woman in the drawing is depicted in a full-length portrait, seated on a simple wooden chair, her posture exuding a sense of calm and focus. She wears a modest, high-necked dress, accessorized with a bonnet adorned with a bow, and an apron to protect her clothing while she works. The artist's use of black chalk on gray paper creates a striking contrast, highlighting the intricacies of the woman's clothing and the texture of the chair. The woman's hands are placed together in her lap, suggesting a moment of respite from her labor. Her gaze, however, is fixed on the viewer, inviting us into her world and allowing us a glimpse into the daily life of a working woman during the Baroque era. The interior of the room is sparsely furnished, with a single piece of furniture, a chair, visible in the background. This drawing is a testament to the rich heritage of European art and the importance of preserving the past for future generations. It is currently housed in the Nationalmuseum in Sweden, a treasure trove of Dutch and Flemish art from the 15th to the 19th centuries. The Nationalmuseum in Stockholm is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history of art and the cultural heritage of Europe.
