Femme de Bruxelle allant par la Ville 1662

This anonymous 17th-century etching, titled "Femme de Bruxelles allant par la Ville," depicts a woman from Brussels walking through the city. The detailed rendering of her clothing, particularly her lace collar and fur muff, provides insight into the fashion trends of the era. The print is part of a series that aimed to document the diverse dress styles of different regions of Europe, offering a glimpse into local customs and cultural identity. The image, now held at the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of this artistic genre.
