Prøveblad med fem kvindehoveder 1787

Gerhard Ludvig Lahde's "Prøveblad med fem kvindehoveder" (1787) is a small etching featuring five female heads, each with a different hairstyle or hat. Lahde was a Danish artist and illustrator who created numerous prints during his prolific career. This work, now in the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies the detailed and delicate nature of his work. The etching is a testament to Lahde's attention to detail, capturing the nuances of each woman's appearance. While small in size, the artwork offers a glimpse into the fashion and hairstyles of the late 18th century.
