Charley Looking at an Album of Prints 1898

"Charley Looking at an Album of Prints" is an etching created in 1898 by Dutch artist Jan Toorop. The artwork depicts a young girl, presumably Charley, seated at a table, intently looking at an album of prints. Toorop's characteristic style of detailed linework is evident in the depiction of the girl's features, the intricate patterns of the room's interior, and the delicate details of the open album. The composition creates a sense of intimate observation, drawing the viewer into Charley's world of contemplation. The etching's small scale, measuring only 10.1 x 9.9 cm, adds to the sense of intimacy and detail.
