Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1881

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw," is an etching created in 1881 by Augustin Mongin, a French artist known for his engravings. This black and white print depicts the bust of an anonymous woman, possibly a Dutch noblewoman, from the 17th century, clad in a ruff and a cap. Mongin’s meticulous engraving technique, with its fine lines and subtle shading, showcases his mastery of the art of etching and provides a glimpse into the artistic trends of the late 19th century.
