One of the greatest paintings of its time IMHO, unlike many Dutch masterpieces of the era (portraits for the wealthy merchants), it captures a woman of low standing going about a routine task, in brilliant detail and composition....
Unknown date. Korean late 18th to early 19th century.
Encaustic paint on wood, one of the better preserved Fayuum mummy portraits.
