Vijf vrouwenhoofden in verschillende standen, met fontange 1703

This 1703 etching by Dutch artist Bernard Picart shows five female heads in different positions. The women are depicted wearing intricate hairstyles and elaborate "fontange" headdresses, a fashionable style of the time. The delicate lines and detailed rendering of the hair and headdresses showcase Picart's skill in capturing the fashions of his era. This artwork is a valuable glimpse into the hairstyles and fashion trends of the 18th century, specifically the high-fashion "fontange" hairstyle which was a symbol of the era. The piece is housed in the Rijksmuseum and serves as a testament to the cultural and artistic influence of the Dutch Golden Age.
