1703 Copperplate Engraving of a Dutch Seaman’s Wife in Traditional Costume

About the Item

Title: "1703 Copperplate Engraving of a Dutch Seaman’s Wife in Traditional Costume" Description: This rare copperplate engraving, created by Caspar Luyken and published by C. Weigel in Nuremberg in 1703, depicts a Dutch seaman's wife in traditional attire. The woman is elegantly dressed in a black gown with a white apron and bonnet, reflecting the typical clothing of the period associated with coastal communities in the Netherlands. She is accompanied by a young girl, who appears to kiss her hand, adding a tender and familial touch to the scene. In the background, sailing ships and small boats are visible on the water, emphasizing the maritime connection of Dutch life and the livelihood of seafarers. This engraving was included in Abraham a Sancta Clara's "Neueröffnete Welt-Galleria," a fascinating work that documented European life and culture. Measuring approximately 21.5 x 34.5 cm, the print is well-preserved considering its age, with minor signs of wear from handling. Its historical value and detailed depiction of traditional Dutch attire and maritime life make it a highly collectible piece for those interested in early 18th-century European art, culture, and costume history.
