| Place of origin |
The Antwerp painter and etcher Henri de Braekeleer belonged to a family of artists. Influenced by 17th-century Dutch genre paintings, he specialised in humble scenes of everyday life, as here, where a woman in peasant dress bends over to cut a cabbage. Ionides also owned De Braekeleer's oil painting of this subject, which is also in the V&A (CAI.88)
