Vrouw met een parelsnoer, oorbellen, diadeem en strik 1760 - 1762

"Vrouw met een parelsnoer, oorbellen, diadeem en strik" (Woman with a Pearl Necklace, Earrings, Diadem, and Bow) is a mezzotint portrait by Thomas Frye, a prominent 18th century British artist. This piece, completed between 1760 and 1762, shows a woman adorned with opulent jewelry, including a pearl necklace, earrings, and a diadem, signifying her status and wealth. The soft, tonal qualities of the mezzotint technique create a sense of elegance and sophistication. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the fashionable trends of the era and highlights the artistry of mezzotint printing.
