Jonge vrouw met een harp 1837 - 1854

This 1837-1854 lithograph by Willem Frederik Wehmeyer depicts a young woman with a harp, her gaze directed to the right. The scene is set against a backdrop of swirling clouds and a coiled serpent, with a monstrous face peering out from behind the woman. The use of chiaroscuro emphasizes the woman's figure and the harp, which is prominently featured in the foreground. The artwork, likely inspired by classical mythology, is a testament to the Romanticism movement's fascination with the supernatural and the power of music.
