De winter 1670 - 1737

"De Winter" is a 17th century etching by Jacob Gole, an artist who was born in 1660 and died in 1737. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman in an elaborate dress and a powdered wig, holding a small dog. The woman is likely a member of the Dutch nobility, reflecting the artist's focus on portraiture and the rich details of 17th-century Dutch fashion. The intricate detail of the etching, particularly the woman's clothing and the scene in the small inset image, demonstrates Gole's mastery of the medium.
