About this work

This black-and-white engraving shows a woman standing behind a small outdoor stall. She’s dressed in a simple apron and cap, holding a wooden spoon over a large pot. Two barrels sit on the ground in front of her, along with a few bowls and a ladle. The stall has a rough wooden roof supported by poles, and the background looks like a street or market area. The title at the bottom, *Müllerinn* (Miller), hints this might be a scene of someone selling bread or grain. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth, which is typical for engravings.
