Elegante dame, haar waaier openend 1619 - 1623

"Elegante dame, haar waaier openend" (Elegant Lady Opening Her Fan) is an etching by Adriaen Matham, created between 1619 and 1623. The print depicts a woman in a fashionable dress, standing in a landscape with windmills in the distance, holding a fan. The detail in the woman's clothing and the natural background highlights the precision of Matham's technique and his skill in capturing the elegance of the Dutch Golden Age. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
