Robrecht I de Fries en Geertruida van Saksen 1517 - 1530

This woodcut print, created by an anonymous artist sometime between 1517 and 1530, depicts Robrecht I de Fries and Geertruida van Saksen. The artwork is a striking example of the Northern Renaissance style, characterized by its focus on detail and realism. The figures are shown in a formal pose, with their clothing and accessories rendered with great accuracy, emphasizing their status and power. The use of line and shading to represent the drapery and the delicate features of the faces contributes to the artwork's sense of naturalism. This small-scale print, measuring only 138 mm high and 88 mm wide, is a testament to the skilled artistry of the unknown creator, offering a glimpse into the lives and customs of the Dutch nobility during the 16th century.
