Jonge vrouw kijkt langs een gordijn naar buiten 1850

This 1850 etching by Belgian artist Guillaume Joseph Vertommen, titled "Jonge vrouw kijkt langs een gordijn naar buiten," depicts a young woman standing in a dimly lit room. The woman gazes out a window, her face obscured by shadows. The composition emphasizes the contrast between the light outside and the darkness of the interior, creating a sense of mystery and introspection. This print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Vertommen's skillful use of light and shadow to evoke emotion and atmosphere.
