Bellissima c. 19th century

"Bellissima," created by Ignaz M. Gaugengigl in the 19th century, is an etching that depicts a woman driving a horse-drawn carriage. The image is framed by a simple mat, highlighting the delicate lines of the woman's figure and the horse's form. The artist captures a sense of motion and speed through the woman's flowing dress and the horse's strained muscles, making "Bellissima" a striking example of a print from the Romantic era. The piece is part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection.
