Häusliche Beschäftigung
A single hand-coloured German plate from 1825 titled Häusliche Beschäftigung, showing household occupations in three rows of small figures, likely made as a teaching or pattern sheet for a domestic audience. The figures are drawn in simple outline with flat colour, and a designer could borrow their period costume, interior props and rural chores such as churning, cooking and washing as a clear, economical vocabulary of 1820s domestic life.
