Germaanse man en vrouw, figura V 1614 - 1616

"Germaanse man en vrouw, figura V" is an etching created between 1614 and 1616 by Dutch artist Nicolaes van Geelkercken. This print depicts a seated Germanic man with a long spear and a standing Germanic woman, both clad in simple attire. Their bare feet, long hair, and relaxed poses contribute to a sense of primitive simplicity, characteristic of van Geelkercken's work. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artist's interest in historical and anthropological themes.
