Portret van een meisje met een 'valhoedje' 1778

"Portret van een meisje met een 'valhoedje'" is a miniature portrait of a young girl wearing a fur-trimmed hat, created in 1778 by Dutch artist Joseph Marinkel. The small size and delicate detail of this piece are typical of portrait miniatures, which were popular as personal keepsakes during the 18th century. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The simple composition, with the girl's head and shoulders filling the frame, draws attention to her youthful innocence and the subtle detail of her attire.
