Meisje met een roos 1698 - 1776

"Meisje met een roos" (Girl with a Rose) is an etching by Johannes de (II) Groot, created between 1698 and 1776. This small-scale portrait, housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a young woman with a rose in her hand. The image's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of realism, capturing the subject's gentle gaze and the texture of her clothing. The artist's signature, "FG," can be found in the upper left corner. The etching exemplifies the skilled artistry of Johannes de (II) Groot, a prominent Dutch engraver of the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
