Den læsende pige 1781

"Den læsende pige" (The Reading Girl) is an etching by Angelica Kauffmann, created in 1781. The print depicts a young woman, likely a peasant girl, sitting in a simple setting and engrossed in reading a book. The detail and soft lines of the etching highlight Kauffmann's mastery of Neoclassical style, common in the late 18th century, and her depiction of everyday life. This artwork is part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection and is a testament to Kauffmann's enduring popularity as a painter and printmaker.
