EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Woman Cooking, Plate 3 from Five Feminine Occupations, ca. 1640-57" takes us back to the 17th century Dutch household. The image showcases a female figure diligently engaged in her domestic chore of cooking over an open fire. The woman stands by the fireplace, surrounded by various tools and utensils essential for her work. A chain with a trammel hook hangs above the fire, allowing her to adjust the height of the pot she is using. The flickering candlelight illuminates her focused expression as she tends to the simmering pots on top of the flames. Geertruydt Roghman's engraving beautifully captures this scene of women at work during that era. It provides us with a glimpse into their daily lives and highlights their indispensable role in maintaining households. The simplicity and authenticity portrayed in this image evoke a sense of nostalgia for traditional cooking methods and emphasize the importance of these feminine occupations within society. As we admire this piece from The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, we are reminded of how much has changed over time while recognizing that certain aspects remain timeless - such as women's dedication to their homes and families. This photograph serves as a testament to Geertruydt Roghman's talent in capturing historical moments through artistry, preserving them for generations to come.
