Amsterdam, Netherlands

A woman runs errands with a market bucket on her arm. Inside the tailor’s workshop, she deliberates over a coat. The tailors are seated on a raised platform to make the most of the daylight. A hank of thread hangs at the ready above the table. Hanging on the wall is a river landscape, dispelling the notion that only affluent individuals could afford to have paintings in their homes in the 17th century.
