EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th century oil painting, titled "Kitchenmaid" by Pieter Pietersz. the elder, showcases the daily life and occupations of the past. The image captures a woman in traditional Dutch clothing, standing inside a kitchen with an upside-down basket suspended from the ceiling. The basket is filled with ducks and eggs, indicating the maid's role in food preparation and the importance of hunting and gathering in rural households during the Renaissance period. In the foreground, the maid is in the process of skinning a hare, while a hare's head and feathers of a duck hang on the wall as evidence of her successful hunt. The rich colors and intricate details of the painting bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the 16th century. The woman's attire, consisting of a voluminous dress and a headscarf, is a reflection of the fashion of the time. Her position and occupation as a kitchen maid were essential to the functioning of the household, and her job involved preparing meals, cleaning, and managing the kitchen. This artwork, now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, is a testament to the heritage and traditions of the past. The painting's intricate details and the story it tells make it a valuable addition to any art collection, providing a glimpse into the lives of people during the sixteenth century.
