The painting shows a woman selling hares' skins. She's standing in a simple setting, with a few skins on a table. The details in the scene are subtle, like the folds in her clothing and the texture of the skins. This work is interesting because it gives us a glimpse into everyday life. The woman's occupation is not typically depicted in art, making this scene unusual. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of engraving.
