Beeldhouwende sater onder begeleiding van een schilder 1640

This etching by Pierre Brebiette, created in 1640, depicts a sculptor working on a relief sculpture while a painter observes and gestures with a stick. The scene likely references the collaboration of the arts, a common theme in Baroque art. Brebiette, known for his intricate and detailed engravings, captures the dynamic energy of the workshop through the use of chiaroscuro and dramatic foreshortening. The piece, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artist's skill and offers a glimpse into the artistic practices of the 17th century.
