Vrouw met gevouwen handen en wapperende haren, een geschrokken uitdrukking op haar gezicht 1850 - 1913

"Vrouw met gevouwen handen en wapperende haren, een geschrokken uitdrukking op haar gezicht" (Woman with folded hands and flowing hair, a startled expression on her face), is a black and white lithograph created between 1850 and 1913 by Belgian artist Emile Frédéric Salmon. The piece depicts a woman, likely a young woman, whose hair is billowing in the wind, possibly as a result of a storm. Her expression is one of distress and fear, a stark contrast to the serene background. Salmon's talent as a lithographer is evident in the detailed depiction of the woman's flowing hair and the turbulent sky. This piece is a powerful example of 19th-century Romantic art, emphasizing emotional intensity and dramatic subject matter.
