Portret van een onbekende dame met hoed 1879 - 1920

"Portret van een onbekende dame met hoed" (Portrait of an Unknown Lady with a Hat) is an etching by Belgian artist Gaston Darbour, created between 1879 and 1920. The work depicts a woman in a fashionable hat, her face partially obscured by the wide brim. The delicate, almost translucent lines and soft shading create a sense of intimacy, bringing viewers close to the subject despite her anonymity. The artwork showcases Darbour’s expertise in capturing the subtleties of light and shadow, characteristic of his artistic style. This portrait, like many of his works, is a testament to his mastery of printmaking.
