Het Gezicht: lezende oude vrouw 1670 - 1709

"Het Gezicht: Lezende Oude Vrouw," an etching by Dutch artist Jacob Gole, depicts an elderly woman reading a book. The detailed, realistic depiction of her features and the subtle use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and realism. This print, created between 1670 and 1709, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. Gole's work is known for its intimate portrayal of everyday life, often focusing on the elderly and their activities, a popular subject in Dutch Golden Age art.
