Anna Fullings 1578 - 1581

This engraving, titled "Anna Fullings," was created by Hendrick Goltzius between 1578 and 1581. The piece, which is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a seated woman in an elaborate dress and head covering. The fine detail of her clothing and the background cityscape, which includes a church and a cityscape, suggest the work's focus on capturing the social status and attire of the time. This etching demonstrates Goltzius' mastery of the printmaking medium, particularly in the use of shading and linework to create a sense of depth and realism in the image. The text beneath the image adds a layer of meaning, though it is not entirely clear what the inscription means.
