Altaren 1816 - 1852

"Altaren", created between 1816 and 1852 by Dutch artist jonkvrouw Elisabeth Kemper, is a pen and ink drawing of two altar designs. The drawing depicts a simple altar with a flame on top and a more elaborate stand. The piece is likely a design study, showcasing Kemper’s interest in architectural detail and her ability to render a detailed, elegant design in simple lines. Kemper’s artistic output includes drawings, watercolors, and paintings, but her work is not well-known today.
