Meisje met armen over elkaar 1721 - 1778

"Meisje met armen over elkaar" (Girl with arms crossed) is an etching by Johann Gottlieb Glume, a German artist known for his portraits. Created between 1721 and 1778, the artwork depicts a young girl with her arms crossed, looking to the side, and is executed in Glume's characteristic, detailed style. This intimate portrayal, measuring only 99 mm by 83 mm, highlights the artist's skill in capturing the innocence and quietude of childhood, a theme common in 18th-century portraiture.
