Young woman with a letter, print, A young woman stands on a barrel by a wall. She hands a letter to someone standing on the other side of the ivy-covered fence., printmaker: Johann Heinrich Maria Hubert Rennefeld, Amsterdam, after design by Hein Burgers, publisher: Arie Cornelis Kruseman, 1755 - 1877, paper, steel engraving, height 178 mm x width 114 mm, letter, envelope, fenced or walled garden, 'Hortus Conclusus', plants and herbs: ivy, A monochrome engraving shows a young woman standing on a wooden bucket inside a walled courtyard, one hand holding the top of the wall for balance while the other hand holds a piece of cloth; she wears a simple dress with rolled sleeves and her hair falls in loose waves. Vines climb the plastered wall behind and beside her, and a narrow doorway with wood paneling and a hanging round object is visible to the right. A broom with a tied straw head leans near the doorway, and another small wooden pail lies on the ground; textured shading and fine etching lines create detailed contrasts across the scene.
