This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi depicts a young woman playing the violin. Created in the 18th century, it is a study of form and light. The artist's skill is evident in the subtle lines and shading that create the illusion of depth and texture. The figure's pose is relaxed yet attentive, capturing a moment of focused musicality. The etching's inscription indicates it belonged to the collection of English artist Thomas Jenkins, suggesting its importance within the art world of the time. The image's subtle details and classical subject matter exemplify the style and themes prevalent in Piranesi's oeuvre.
