Standbeeld van een vrouw 1631 - 1637

This etching, "Standbeeld van een vrouw", created between 1631 and 1637 by Claude Mellan (1598-1688), portrays a female figure in a flowing robe. The figure is depicted standing, with her right arm folded across her chest, and a shawl draped over her left arm. Mellan is known for his detailed and precise lines, which contribute to the sense of realism in the work. This piece is a prime example of the artistic techniques of the Baroque period, and it now resides in the Rijksmuseum.
