About the piece
This 1835 portrait from the Netherlands Open Air Museum depicts a woman wearing a traditional 'oorijzer' (ear iron), a piece of Frisian jewelry. Seated in a rustic interior with a basket of apples, the work captures the quiet dignity of rural Dutch life with a moody, folk-inspired palette.
