Studieblad met het portret van een jonge vrouw met hoed en twee kleinere portretten 1756 - 1871

This etching by Louis Bernard Coclers, created between 1756 and 1871, depicts a woman in profile wearing a large, elaborate hat. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of volume and texture, particularly in the woman's clothing. The drawing's small size, only 158 mm by 125 mm, suggests it may be a study for a larger work. This piece demonstrates Coclers' mastery of portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of a subject with minimal detail.
