Vrouw met een parelsnoer en diadeem 1760 - 1762

This mezzotint by Thomas Frye, created between 1760 and 1762, depicts a woman adorned in a pearl necklace and diadem. The work, titled "Vrouw met een parelsnoer en diadeem," showcases Frye's mastery of the mezzotint technique, a printing process known for its rich tonal qualities. The woman's elegant attire and the soft, almost ethereal treatment of her features suggest a portrait of a noblewoman or a figure of social prominence. The work is currently held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offering art lovers a glimpse into the artistic landscape of 18th-century Europe.
