Vrouw voor een spiegel kleedt zich aan 1852 - 1890

Willem (II) Linnig's etching, "Vrouw voor een spiegel kleedt zich aan" (Woman in front of a mirror dresses) depicts a woman in a room, standing in front of a mirror while getting dressed. The artwork, which is housed in the Rijksmuseum, is small in size, measuring only 115 mm high and 67 mm wide, and was created sometime between 1852 and 1890. The etching's intimate scale and subject matter suggest a focus on the private and domestic realm, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a woman in the 19th century.
