Ochtend 1639 - 1646

"Ochtend" (Morning) is a 17th century etching by Dutch artist Jeremias Falck, depicting a woman personifying the dawn. Her hand holds a flaming torch, symbolizing the sun's rising, while a pearl necklace cascading from her wrist evokes dew drops. The etching's elegant lines and soft shading showcase the artist's masterful technique and a heightened sense of grace, typical of the Dutch Golden Age.
