About this work
The virtuous woman buys a field. In her hand she holds a purse. Opposite her stands a merchant. In the background a field and a vineyard. The print is based on Proverbs 31:16: 'She considers a field and buys it'. Below the image a paraphrase of this Bible verse in German. This print forms part of an album.
