Jonge vrouw en oude man 1670 - 1700

"Jonge vrouw en oude man" (Young woman and old man) is an etching by the Dutch artist Jan Broedelet, dating from 1670-1700. The artwork depicts a young woman, likely of noble birth, seated beside an older man, possibly her father or a suitor. The couple are depicted in a formal garden setting, with a table and potted plants visible in the background. Broedelet's work is known for its realistic depiction of human figures and its attention to detail, as seen in the intricate folds of the woman's dress and the careful rendering of the man's beard and mustache. The etching is a small work, measuring 270 mm by 233 mm, and the use of tonal shading creates a sense of depth and volume.
