Portret van de vrouw van Gabriël Metsu 1744 - 1795

This etching by Julius Henricus Quinkhard, a Dutch artist known for his portraiture, depicts the wife of Gabriël Metsu. Created between 1744 and 1795, the print shows a seated woman in a dark dress, with a single earring and a delicate shawl, emphasizing her graceful figure. The woman's calm expression and posture, set against a simple background with a column, contribute to a timeless and elegant portrait. This artwork, part of a larger collection of portraits by Quinkhard, provides insight into the fashion and style of the 18th century.
