"Seated Woman with a Spider's Web" (1803) by Christian Friedrich is a detailed black and white etching. The artwork depicts a woman in a flowing dress, seated in a thicket of trees and plants, gazing up at a spiderweb suspended between two bare branches. The intricate detail of the web and surrounding vegetation adds to the romantic and melancholic tone of the piece, which was likely influenced by German Romanticism. The etching is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
