Oude vrouw met een kapje op haar hoofd 1665 - 1738

"Oude vrouw met een kapje op haar hoofd" (Old Woman with a Bonnet on her Head) is an etching by Dutch artist Carel de (II) Moor. Created between 1665 and 1738, the work is a portrait of an elderly woman, captured in close-up, wearing a large, elaborate ruff. The etching, with its delicate lines and subtle shading, highlights the subject’s wrinkled features and worn appearance. The work is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. This intimate portrait of a nameless woman provides a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during the Dutch Golden Age.
