Vrouw in traditionele Japanse kledij met vinger voor de mond 1887

This etching, "Vrouw in traditionele Japanse kledij met vinger voor de mond," created by Peter von Halm in 1887, depicts a woman in a traditional Japanese kimono with her finger to her lips. The figure's pose and gesture suggest a sense of secrecy or contemplation, while the intricate details of the kimono and background evoke the allure of Japanese culture. The work is a fine example of "Japonisme," a trend in European art that embraced Japanese aesthetics and motifs. This small, yet detailed, etching is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and measures 130mm by 55mm.
