Vrouw met een kanten halsband, een diadeem en waaier 1760 - 1762

"Vrouw met een kanten halsband, een diadeem en waaier" (Woman with a Lace Collar, a Diadem, and a Fan) is a mezzotint by English artist Thomas Frye, created between 1760 and 1762. The work depicts a woman in an elegant 18th-century gown, adorned with a lace collar, a diadem, and a fan. The subject's gaze is directed downwards, creating an air of quiet contemplation. Frye's masterful use of light and shadow in this mezzotint, a printmaking technique that utilizes tonal values to create a sense of depth, perfectly captures the delicate features of the woman's face and the intricate details of her attire. The work is a testament to Frye's technical skill and his ability to render the beauty and grace of his subjects. The print is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
