EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the head and shoulders of a woman in an exquisite headdress, depicted in profile to the left. Created between 1601-1700 by an anonymous German artist from the 17th century, this graphite drawing on paper measures 22x14.7 cm and is currently housed at the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford. The woman's gaze is directed away from us, adding an air of mystery to her already enigmatic presence. Her headdress is intricately adorned with delicate details, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during this period. The simplicity of black and white allows for focus on the intricate lines that form her features, emphasizing her elegance and grace. The artist's skillful use of shading brings depth to her face while highlighting certain elements like her eyes and lips. This portrait offers a glimpse into early 17th-century fashion as it showcases not only the elaborate headdress but also hints at the style of clothing worn during this time. The anonymity surrounding both the subject's identity and the artist adds another layer of intrigue to this stunning artwork. Overall, this piece exemplifies European art from that era with its meticulous rendering and timeless beauty. It serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical fashion trends that continue to captivate viewers today.
