Second plate from a set of sixteen pastoral scenes.

A Woman with Poultry. Landscape with a peasant woman reclining next to a basket, holding two chickens by their feet.

Two lines of Latin text at bottom: Me Veniente die merx rustica mitti ad Vrbem. / Nec grauor: id lucri spes mihi dulce facit. Text by Hendrik de Roij, ‘city physician of Utrecht and a nephew of Abraham’s [n.d.r. Bloemaert] second wife’ [Eddy de Jong, Mirror of Everyday’s life 1997, cat. 37, p. 195].

The original set was published in Utrecht between 1627 and 1630 and it became particularly popular and was copied in France (notably by Louis Spirinx) and in Italy.

This is a copy in reverse, that may be attributed to Boetius Adams Bolswert (see Istituto Centrale per la Grafica, Fondo Corsini, inv. S-FC2026).

Numbered below on the right: 2.
