Portret van een jonge vrouw 1770

"Portret van een jonge vrouw" is a 1770 etching by Johannes Körnlein, a Dutch artist who died just two years later in 1772. The etching depicts a young woman in profile, her face obscured, and dressed in a high-collared, ruff-trimmed dress. The woman's hair is styled in a large, elaborately tied bun with a white ribbon. The etching is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and measures 260 mm in height and 209 mm in width. Körnlein’s work is often characterized by delicate lines and careful shading, as seen in this piece.
