{"product_id":"a-girl-sewing-cornelis-visscher","title":"A Girl Sewing - Cornelis Visscher","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed Dutch Golden Age etching by Cornelis Visscher, depicting a young woman sewing amidst a pastoral scene of livestock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCornelis Visscher was a highly skilled Dutch engraver and draughtsman, active during the mid-seventeenth century. This work displays his technical mastery of the copperplate, employing a combination of etching and engraving to achieve varied tonal qualities. The scene depicts a pastoral setting where a young woman sits on the ground, focused on her needlework. She is surrounded by a small herd of cattle, sheep, and a dog, while a male figure stands nearby in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is characteristic of the period, balancing the quiet, domestic activity of the girl with the rustic elements of rural life. Visscher uses fine, controlled lines to define the textures of the animals' coats, the folds of the woman's clothing, and the rugged terrain. The lighting is soft, suggesting an overcast day, which allows for a subtle range of greys and shadows across the print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the more dramatic works of his contemporaries, Visscher often turned his attention to these smaller, observational moments. His ability to render human expression and animal anatomy with such precision made him a respected figure in the Dutch printmaking tradition. The inclusion of the herd provides a sense of scale and atmosphere, grounding the figure in a specific environment. This print offers a view into the daily life of the seventeenth-century Netherlands, captured with a focus on clarity and observation. The work remains a fine example of the technical standards achieved by Dutch printmakers of the era, who balanced artistic vision with the demands of a growing market for high-quality graphic works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/still-life-with-a-chinese-porcelain-jar-willem-kalf\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eStill Life with a Chinese Porcelain Jar - Willem Kalf — Willem Kalf\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cornelis Visscher","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491405730127,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491410481487,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491410514255,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491410547023,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491410579791,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491410612559,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491410645327,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491410678095,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491410710863,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491410743631,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491410776399,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491410809167,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/A-Girl-Sewing_Poster_CompositorV1_1786378931447.jpg?v=1786922564","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/a-girl-sewing-cornelis-visscher","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
