1676
unspecified
From the collection of Brukenthal National Museum
Portret de femeie is a 1676 unspecified by Caspar Netscher, a Baroque work, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a woman with dark hair pulled back under a dark cap. She’s wearing a light collar over a dark dress and holds a folded fan in one hand. Her face is plain but calm, with a slight smile. The fan she holds looks like a small, delicate object—something people used long ago to stay cool or signal quietly. The dark background makes her face stand out more. Want to see how artists like this one used light and shadow? Try looking up *chiaroscuro*.
Caspar Netscher was a Dutch painter. He was a master in depicting oriental rugs, silk and brocade and introduced an international style to the Northern Netherlands.
