Jonge vrouw bij een raamkozijn met bloempot 1766

This engraving, "Jonge vrouw bij een raamkozijn met bloempot", created in 1766 by Antoine de Marcenay de Ghuy, depicts a young woman standing by a window with a potted plant. The woman, dressed in a simple but elegant gown, appears to be tending to the plant, perhaps a symbol of life and growth. The composition is characterized by a sense of stillness and contemplation, and the use of light and shadow creates a dramatic effect. This artwork, also known as “La Fleurist”, exemplifies the Rococo period's preference for delicate subjects and graceful lines. The artist's careful rendering of detail, particularly in the woman's attire and the window frame, demonstrates the mastery of the engraving technique in the 18th century.
