Het zicht after 1676

This etching by Willem Swidde, dated after 1676, depicts the allegorical figure of Sight. The figure is portrayed as a woman holding a mirror, a symbol of reflection and self-awareness. Sight is one of the five senses, and this artwork, part of a series of engravings representing each sense, highlights the importance of sight in human perception. The intricate ornamental frame around the figure adds to the elegant and sophisticated nature of the artwork. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing Dutch artistic tradition.
