EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print depicts a Dutch merchant's wife, elegantly dressed for the harsh winter weather of Holland. The woman's opulent attire is adorned with intricate lace, a sign of her affluence and high social standing. Her blonde hair is styled in elaborate curls, framing her delicate features. The centerpiece of her outfit is a grand ermine muff, a symbol of wealth and status in Dutch society. The large, luxurious muff, made from the fur of the ermine, is held tightly in her hands to keep them warm against the cold. The ermine's white fur, with its distinctive black tips, is a striking contrast against the rich, dark background. The woman's collar is also adorned with ermine fur, adding to her regal appearance. Her dress, with its voluminous skirts and fitted bodice, is both stylish and practical for the winter season. The print captures the essence of Dutch high society during the 18th century, where wealth, status, and fashion were all important indicators of one's place in society. This image offers a glimpse into the lives of the Dutch merchant class during this time period, providing a window into their culture, fashion, and daily life. The rich colors and intricate details of the print make it a beautiful and captivating work of art, perfect for any collection focused on Dutch history, fashion, or social history.
