Description from the seller
Charming old engraving depicting a Dutch domestic interior scene in the style of Gabriel Metsu. The composition features two figures in a rustic interior: a woman standing, holding a jug near a conical, typically Dutch fireplace, and a young man seated at a table with a cask. The scene captures the intimacy and daily life of Dutch domestic life in the seventeenth century, characteristic of Metsu's style.
