여자아이가 그림을 그리고 있다
c. 1665
Step into the quiet studio of a 17th-century artist, where a woman in a striking, rust-orange silk gown is completely absorbed in her craft. Bathed in soft light against a shadowy, tapestry-draped backdrop, she carefully sketches on blue paper, using small classical plaster busts as her models. Eglon van der Neer, a master of the Dutch Baroque, captures not just her elegant attire and dangling pearl jewelry, but the intense, quiet focus of a female artist at work—a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual lives of women during the Golden Age.
