Description:
This is a portrait engraving showing a person with a striking hat, probably a basket. The expressive facial expression, which enlivens the print, is particularly remarkable. The face is characterised by lively eyes and a resolute mouth. The detailed draping of the garment and the finely drawn hat jewellery point to a mastery of hatching technique. The overall impression is characterised by nuanced shading and structural delicacy.
