Huilende vrouw kijkt door een kier van het gordijn 1865

"Huilende vrouw kijkt door een kier van het gordijn," is a black and white engraving by Dutch artist Willem (I) Steelink, created in 1865. The artwork depicts a woman, dressed in a long gown, standing by a window, looking out through a small gap in the curtains. The scene evokes a sense of sadness and introspection. The woman's posture and facial expression, along with the dimly lit room, contribute to the melancholic atmosphere. Steelink was known for his detailed engravings, capturing the nuances of human emotion and creating a sense of realism in his artwork. The artwork is an example of the genre of engraving, a printmaking technique used to create images by cutting a design into a surface, typically a metal plate, and then inking the surface and pressing it onto paper.
