Created by the talented artist Wilhelm Ackermann in the 18th century, this piece is a true testament to his skill and attention to detail.

The simplicity of black and white enhances its timeless appeal, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic merit. Wilhelm Ackermann's expertise in etching is evident in this piece as he expertly combines cut paper with etched frames. This technique creates depth and texture within the silhouette while maintaining its delicate nature.

It serves as a reminder of their contributions to society despite societal limitations placed upon them.
