Die Plinsenbäckerin; Radierung von Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, 1635..-----.Die Plinsenbäckerin; Radierung von Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, 1635...umgeben von Frauen und Kindern..Our elderly heroine is hard at work, preparing food for the light-hearted crowd that surrounds her. She appears diligent and tired; her posture and expression are evident of these characteristics, which Rembrandt cleverly translates through his etched detail and shading technique. Children scurry around her feet as onlookers eagerly hover over her shoulders. The pancake woman hunches over, frowning in concentration. Rembrandt clearly highlights her as the subject of this work, adding an immense amount of detail to her appearance so that she appears to pop out from the crowd around her. In the foreground a pancake-loving dog attempts to snatch the pancake from the hands of a toddler, who jealously guards it.
