This lithograph presents a contemplative scene from 1896 by Austrian artist Ferdinand Schmutzer, depicting a Dutch girl from Volendam clad in her traditional costume. She is accompanied by her rabbit, positioned close to the stove in the kitchen—a setup evocative of the simplicity and frugality of fisherman’s family life during that era. The image subtly hints at the stark reality of the time, where winters were brutal and food was a scarce commodity, raising the poignant question of the rabbit's fate in the survival of the family.
