Orchideeën 1899 - 1937

"Orchideeën" (1899-1937) is an etching by Dutch artist Henriëtte van der Harten (1889-1945). The artwork depicts a delicate, stylized arrangement of orchids, with the artist’s signature in the lower left corner. The image is rendered in delicate lines and hatches, characteristic of etching, and evokes a sense of fragility and transience. The artist’s focus on the botanical form highlights her interest in nature, and the composition suggests a sensitive observation of the orchids' subtle beauty.
