Schoolmeisje 1811 - 1873

"Schoolmeisje" is a fashion plate by Dutch artist Pieter van Loon, created between 1811 and 1873. The plate depicts a woman in a blue dress, adorned with various school-related items, such as books and a ruler, likely representing the "Lycéenne" (female student) fashion trend popular in 19th century France. The artwork is a colorful and detailed illustration of a young woman in a fashionable outfit of the period, capturing the spirit of the time with its intricate details and playful design. Currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, "Schoolmeisje" offers a glimpse into the world of fashion and education in the 19th century.
