"Standbeeld van een vrouw," a 17th-century etching by Theodor Matham, depicts a classical sculpture of a woman, likely a Roman goddess. The figure is rendered in meticulous detail, with the artist's skilled hand capturing the folds of the drapery and the intricate details of the woman's attire and hairstyle. The composition is simple yet effective, placing the figure centrally in the frame, emphasizing its stature and poise. Matham's work was known for its accuracy in depicting classical art, making this etching a valuable record of the period's interest in ancient Roman culture. The work is held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, showcasing the museum's extensive collection of Dutch art and history.
