Meisje met bal staand voor een man 1700 - 1800

"Meisje met bal staand voor een man" is an 18th-century watercolor by W. Barthautz, depicting a young girl holding a ball in front of a man. The artwork captures the details of traditional Dutch clothing from the era. The girl wears a checkered skirt and a white cap, while the man sports a fur-trimmed cap and a long blue coat. The simple yet evocative scene likely reflects the artist's interest in everyday life and local customs. The small scale of the artwork (202 mm x 145 mm) adds to its intimate and charming nature. The artwork is a valuable visual record of 18th-century Dutch fashion and social interaction.
