140 Gérard de Lairesse (1641–1711) – Seated Female Nude with Basin – Engraving (late 17th to early 18th century)
This striking engraving, designed by Gérard de Lairesse, depicts a seated female nude figure, gracefully draped in fabric, with a basin at her feet. The figure looks downwards in a contemplative or introspective pose, suggesting a classical, mythological, or allegorical subject, possibly representing Penitent Magdalene or a similar theme of reflection. The meticulous linework and rendering of form, particularly in the drapery and figure, showcase the technical skill and classical aesthetic characteristic of engravings from this period and designs by de Lairesse.
Gérard de Lairesse (1641–1711) was a highly influential Dutch Golden Age painter, art theorist, and etcher. He was known for his refined classical style, often drawing inspiration from French Baroque art, and specialized in historical and allegorical subjects. De Lairesse produced numerous paintings and designs for prints that significantly influenced painting and decorative arts in the Netherlands and beyond. His work often included detailed studies of the human form and allegorical compositions.
