About the piece
This masterfully executed 1845 oil painting by Elisabeth Alida Haanen offers a compelling self-portrait of the female artist at work. Shown alongside her husband, Petrus Kiers, the composition is dense with period details—from the heavy green drapery and ornate mantle clock to the meticulous tools of her trade—capturing a sophisticated moment of 19th-century professional and domestic life.
