Mademoiselle Van P. 1885 - 1931

"Mademoiselle Van P." is a portrait etching by Dutch artist Frederika Henriëtte Broeksmit, created between 1885 and 1931. The etching depicts a woman in profile, her head slightly tilted downward, her gaze cast toward the ground. Broeksmit was known for her striking portrayals of individuals, often emphasizing their emotional state. The use of line and tonal variation in the print captures the subject's pensive expression. This intimate portrait exemplifies Broeksmit's talent for capturing the essence of her sitters in a realistic and emotive style. The work is a small but powerful example of portraiture within the context of late 19th and early 20th-century Dutch art.
