Vrouw met parasol 1856

"Vrouw met parasol" is a small etching by the French artist Polynice Auguste Viette, created in 1856. The work depicts a woman in a long dress holding a parasol, with her back to the viewer. She is walking in a landscape with hills and bushes, and her figure is rendered in a sketchy, loose style. Viette was a prolific artist known for his etchings, watercolors, and drawings. His works often feature scenes of everyday life, and he was a skilled observer of people and their surroundings. The subject of the woman with the parasol is a popular motif in 19th-century art, and Viette's depiction of her conveys a sense of grace and elegance.
