Meisjeskop met hoofddoek c. 1679 - 1750

"Meisjeskop met hoofddoek" is an etching, a printmaking technique using acid to create an image on a metal plate, that depicts the head and shoulders of a young woman. The anonymous artist uses detailed lines to create a three-dimensional effect in this portrait. Created sometime between 1679 and 1750, the artwork is currently held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The work is a prime example of the genre of portraiture and reflects the artistic practices of the Dutch Golden Age.
