[Woman with giant fur hat]
[Woman with giant fur hat]
Joh Melchoir Roos pinxit. Joh. Georg Seiller. Heb. Scanphusian fecit. A: 1689.
Very scarce mezzotint, sheet 355 x 265mm (14 x 10½"). On 17th century watermarked paper. Trimmed within plate at bottom . Thread margins on three sides.
Woman wearing a large cape secured with a chain she gathers the excess in her arms with flowers. She wears jewellry of pearls and an enormous fur hat. Possibly Regina Maria Pömer (née Behaim) (1646–1669), wife of Gabriel Pömer, who is depicted in at least two prints wearing similar giant fur headgear. Or perhaps Madame Braun; a sitter in another mezzotint portrait by Johann Georg Seiller after a painting by Johann Melchior Roos, which forms a pair with a print of her husband Captain Braun.
