Portret van een meisje, mogelijk Johanna Troost 1734

This engraving by Cornelis Troost, dating from 1734, is a portrait of a young girl, possibly Johanna Troost. The girl is depicted seated at a table, holding a quill in her hand, suggesting she is engaged in writing. The dimly lit scene, illuminated by a candle, adds an air of intimacy and focus to the portrait. The artwork is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
