Roodkapje 1891

"Roodkapje" is a print made by Jean Baptiste Coene in 1891. The artwork depicts a young girl, likely "Little Red Riding Hood" (Roodkapje in Dutch), walking through a snowy forest. Coene was a Belgian artist, and this print is representative of the Romantic era's fascination with nature and childhood. The image captures a moment of quiet contemplation, with the girl's solitary walk echoing the solitude of the forest. The stark contrast of light and dark, typical of Coene's style, emphasizes the dramatic setting. The print is a lovely example of detailed realism, with a focus on capturing the textures of the snow, the trees, and the girl's clothing.
