This 18th-century print, created by Johannes (II) Kannewet, depicts a woman on horseback. The image is framed with a decorative border of stylized flora. This type of artwork, a print using woodcuts, was a popular way to disseminate images in the 17th and 18th centuries. The image is likely a depiction of a Dutch noblewoman on horseback, with the title of the artwork suggesting the woman is of high social standing. This print from the Rijksmuseum offers insight into the art and culture of the Dutch Golden Age.
