An etching by Pieter Jansz. Quast shows an old woman seated on a rock, wrapped in tattered clothing. The fine lines and stark tonal range create a sense of austerity.
This etching by Pieter Jansz. Quast (1605-1647) depicts an old woman seated on a rock, her figure dominating the composition. Quast was a Dutch Golden Age painter and printmaker, known for his genre scenes and depictions of everyday life, often featuring peasants and soldiers. His work frequently incorporates elements of caricature and social commentary. The print shows the woman in profile, facing left, with a hunched posture and a worn expression. She is wrapped in layers of tattered clothing, suggesting poverty and hardship. In the background, a smaller figure, possibly a child or another elderly person, walks with the aid of crutches, further emphasising the theme of destitution. The etching technique is characterised by fine, precise lines that define the forms and create a sense of depth and texture. The limited tonal range adds to the stark, austere mood of the image. Quast's attention to detail in rendering the textures of the clothing and the weathered features of the woman's face adds a sense of realism to the scene.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
