This etching, created by Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe between 1670 and 1685, depicts a fashionable lady in a Japanese-style gown, part of his series "Figures à la mode." The woman is shown walking in a bustling street, her elaborate attire highlighted against a backdrop of ordinary citizens, emphasizing the social commentary inherent in De Hooghe's work.
