Staande jonge vrouw in profiel naar rechts 1620 - 1664

Stefano della Bella’s etching *Staande jonge vrouw in profiel naar rechts* depicts a woman standing in profile, her hands clasped before her. The composition is simple, the figure dominates the foreground, and the background features a distant landscape with three small figures. The work was created between 1620 and 1664, during the artist’s productive career in Florence, and showcases his mastery of the etching medium and keen interest in capturing the details of clothing and human form. The drawing is a testament to della Bella’s skill as an observer of everyday life and his ability to translate those observations into compelling works of art.
