Seated Woman in Spanish Attire
Jan Cornelisz. Vermeyen (mentioned on object), Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen (mentioned on object), Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen (mentioned on object), Jan Cornelisz. Vermeyen (mentioned on object), 1545
The woman depicted here wears a Spanish verdugado, a conical skirt stiffened with horizontal bands. The spectacular effect of light and dark perfectly shows off the raised edges and folds of the fabric. Vermeyen introduced extensive cross-hatching in the right half of the etching, thereby casting the scene almost entirely in shadow. The outlines of a sleeping dog can just be made out in the darkness.
