The work belongs to a series of costume studies that document regional dress during the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century. Van den Berge, a Dutch engraver and draughtsman, produced these plates to record the specific sartorial habits of rural populations, which were often distinct from urban fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is straightforward, placing the figures against a minimal background. The woman wears a structured bodice and a full skirt, while the child is dressed in a jacket and a wide-brimmed hat. The line work is precise, typical of the period's printmaking techniques, using hatching to define the folds of the fabric and the texture of the clothing. The inclusion of the title in both French and Dutch, 'Paisanne de Groningue' and 'Boerin van Groningerlandt', indicates that these prints were intended for a broad audience interested in ethnographic or regional documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan den Berge often collaborated with publishers such as Petrus Schenk, whose name appears on the plate. These prints functioned as visual records of social identity, capturing the attire of the working classes. The figures stand on a simple ground line, suggesting a focus on the costume rather than a narrative setting. The print provides a clear view of the historical silhouette, from the woman's cap to the child's footwear. This piece is a useful reference for those interested in the history of Dutch regional dress and the development of costume illustration in the Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/josephs-coat-brought-to-jacob-rembrandt-harmensz-van-rijn\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJoseph's Coat Brought to Jacob - Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn — Rembrandt\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/la-parisienne-jacques-villon\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLa Parisienne - Jacques Villon — Jacques Villon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pieter van den Berge","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58479238938959,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58479251980623,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58479252013391,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58479252046159,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58479252078927,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479252111695,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58479252144463,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58479252177231,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479252209999,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58479252242767,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58479252275535,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479252308303,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Boerin-van-Groningerlandt_Poster_CompositorV1_1786332488067.jpg?v=1786748883","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/boerin-van-groningerlandt-pieter-van-den-berge","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
