Zicht c. 1632

Abraham Bosse's etching, "Zicht," from c. 1632, depicts a woman standing in an elegant interior, holding a mirror up to her face. The etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of the Baroque style, characterized by its use of light and shadow to create a sense of drama and movement. The woman's elaborate dress and the ornate furniture surrounding her evoke a sense of wealth and refinement. The etching captures the fleeting nature of beauty and the allure of self-reflection, highlighting the theme of vanity.
