Portret van een onbekende vrouw met een roos 1847 - 1889

This engraving, titled "Portret van een onbekende vrouw met een roos" (Portrait of an Unknown Woman with a Rose), was created by German artist William Unger between 1847 and 1889. It depicts a woman in a detailed, historical costume, holding a rose. Unger's meticulous attention to detail, particularly in rendering the intricate lace of the woman's ruff, exemplifies the meticulous nature of his work and his ability to capture the essence of the past. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this piece offers a glimpse into 17th-century fashion and the practice of portraiture in the 19th century.
