Twee meisjes uit Noord-Holland 1806

"Twee meisjes uit Noord-Holland" is a hand-colored etching created in 1806 by Ludwig Gottlieb Portman. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two women dressed in traditional Northern Dutch clothing of the early 19th century. The women are seated on a bench, and one of them is holding a piece of fabric. The print is a prime example of fashion illustration, capturing the detailed costumes of the era and showcasing the work of Portman, a prolific artist known for his depictions of regional dress in Europe.
