Portret van de hertogin van Friedland 1808 - 1868

This 19th-century print, "Portret van de hertogin van Friedland," by Carl Mayer, depicts a woman in elaborate 17th-century dress. The subject, likely a noblewoman, is shown holding a bouquet of flowers and wearing a pearl necklace. The black and white print creates a sense of historical grandeur, reminiscent of portraiture from the Baroque era. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this work showcases Mayer’s talent for rendering detail and capturing the elegance of a bygone era.
