About this artwork
This depiction of a sexually provocative woman as the embodiment of vanity is one of the earliest collabora-tions between the designer Abraham Bloemaert and the printmaker Jan Saenredam. A virtuoso display of Mannerist printmaking, it features elegant calligraphy (probably by another hand), billowing smoke, and luxurious fabrics.
