EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait, created by Dutch artist Louis Chantal in 1866, captures the elegant and graceful Maria Elisabeth Adolphine Waller-Schill in the prime of her youth. The drawing marks the year of her marriage to M.J. Waller and may have been inspired by a honeymoon stay in the mountains, as suggested by the scenic mountain landscape in the background. Maria Elisabeth is depicted wearing the fashionable attire of the time, including a high-necked blouse, a voluminous hoopskirt, and a crinoline petticoat. Her hair is styled in an intricate updo, adorned with a hat that adds a touch of sophistication to her outfit. The artist expertly captures the texture and details of her clothing, from the folds of her skirt to the delicate lace collar of her blouse. Maria Elisabeth's posture is confident and poised, with her hands clasped in her lap and a direct gaze that engages the viewer. The portrait is rendered in black chalk and pencil on paper, showcasing Chantal's skillful use of shading and tonal variations. The drawing is a testament to the artistic heritage of the Netherlands in the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the time. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, one of Europe's most renowned museums, houses this precious work of art, which continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
