Jonge vrouw met een kaars 1689

"Jonge vrouw met een kaars" ("Young Woman with a Candle"), an etching by Willem Verschuring, depicts a woman in a dimly lit room, holding a candle. The young woman, who appears to be in contemplation, rests her chin on her hand, creating a sense of intimacy and introspective thought. The use of chiaroscuro, the dramatic contrast between light and shadow, emphasizes the candle's glow and adds a sense of mystery to the scene. The artwork, created in 1689, exemplifies Verschuring's mastery of the etching technique and his penchant for portraying the human form in introspective moments.
