Hekabe met drie Trojaanse vrouwen 1648 - 1671

This etching, *Hekabe met drie Trojaanse vrouwen* (1648-1671) by Georges Le Juge (1638-1671), depicts the tragic figure of Hekabe, Queen of Troy, mourning the loss of her son Hector. She is accompanied by three other Trojan women, likely representing the suffering of all those affected by the Trojan War. The scene's emotional intensity is heightened by the use of chiaroscuro and the figures' expressive poses. The etching, part of a larger series, exemplifies Le Juge's mastery of this medium and his ability to capture dramatic narratives in a powerful and evocative way.
