Vrouw met struisvogelveren op haar hoed c. 1701

Jacob Toorenvliet's "Vrouw met struisvogelveren op haar hoed" is a c. 1701 red chalk drawing of a woman in a flowing gown with a feathered hat. The figure's elegant posture and the detailed drapery suggest a study for a larger composition. The artist's focus on the figure's anatomy and the delicate rendering of the fabric reveals his mastery of the medium. This drawing exemplifies Toorenvliet's skill in capturing the grace and sophistication of the fashion of the time, offering a glimpse into the visual culture of the early 18th century.
