About this work

This etching portrays a noble woman standing on a street, dressed in a long, ornate gown and holding a fan in her right hand. The woman's attire is adorned with intricate details, including a ruffled collar and a necklace. Her hair is styled in a bobbed haircut, and she wears a serious expression. In the background, a street scene unfolds, featuring people and buildings. The etching's use of fine lines and shading creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject. The level of detail and realism in this etching is characteristic of the Baroque movement.
