Jonge vrouw met bontmuts en bontkraag 1771

This 1771 etching by Christian Gottfried Schultze, titled “Jonge vrouw met bontmuts en bontkraag,” features a bust-length portrait of a young woman with a fur-trimmed hat and collar. Schultze, a German artist active in the 18th century, is known for his portraits and landscapes. The etching showcases the artist's skill in rendering detail, particularly in the delicate features of the woman's face and the texture of the fur. This small-scale work, measuring only 155 mm high and 121 mm wide, was likely intended for a private collection. The subject's dignified expression and elegant attire suggests her status as a member of the upper class.
