Sick woman with a large white headdress (Saskia) 1859

"Sick woman with a large white headdress (Saskia)" is an etching by Léopold Flameng, a French artist known for his skillful prints. Created in 1859, the artwork depicts a woman in a large white headdress, possibly Saskia, the wife of Rembrandt, who was a popular subject for artists in the 19th century. The etching's intimate size, measuring only 64mm by 54mm, creates a close and personal view of the subject, emphasizing the delicate lines and subtle shadows in Flameng's signature style.
