EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: Young Woman with a Cigarette, 1823-1892, by Antonio Zona (19th century) This evocative watercolor drawing, created by the Italian artist Antonio Zona between 1823 and 1892, captures the enigmatic allure of a young woman in traditional Dutch clothing, as she casually holds a cigarette between her fingers. Dressed in a richly colored, voluminous dress adorned with intricate patterns, the woman wears a veil that covers her hair, a common practice in the Netherlands during the 19th century. The low country's influence is further emphasized by the landscape in the background, featuring quaint Dutch houses and a serene body of water. The use of chalk and watercolor paint brings the image to life, with the woman's delicate features and expressive eyes drawing the viewer in. The concept of a veiled woman smoking is an unusual one for the time, adding to the intrigue and fascination of this portrait. The cigarette, a symbol of rebellion and independence, further emphasizes the woman's strong and independent character. This artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the 19th century, and serves as a reminder of the intricacies and complexities of societal norms and expectations during this period. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is the proud owner of this masterpiece, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
