Jonge vrouw met waaier 1670 - 1724

This 18th-century etching by Dutch artist Jacob Gole depicts a young woman holding a fan. The artwork, titled "Jonge vrouw met waaier" (Young Woman with Fan), is considered a fine example of portraiture from the Dutch Golden Age. The woman is depicted in a three-quarter view, her gaze directed towards the viewer. The composition, with its focus on the figure and the use of light and shadow, is typical of the era, highlighting the subject's elegance and grace. The presence of a vase and a rose suggests a sense of wealth and refinement. This artwork is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
