Portret van een voorname dame 1649 - 1684

Caspar Netscher's "Portret van een voorname dame" is a red chalk drawing depicting a young woman in a three-quarter profile. The drawing's soft lines and subtle shading create a sense of realism and depth. The woman's delicate features and elegant attire are captured with precision, making her appear sophisticated and refined. The work, created between 1649 and 1684, is a testament to Netscher's skill in portraiture and his ability to convey the sitter's personality. It is a prime example of Dutch Golden Age art, known for its meticulous detail and focus on everyday life. Today, the drawing can be admired at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
