"Portretten van Amalia van Solms en Maria Henrietta Stuart, beiden als herderin" is a pair of engravings by Crispijn van de Passe (II), dated 1640. The engravings depict Amalia van Solms and Maria Henrietta Stuart, both dressed as shepherdesses, in oval frames. These works are now in the Rijksmuseum and are an example of the 17th-century Dutch portraiture style. The engravings are particularly interesting for their depiction of the two women as shepherdesses, a popular motif in Dutch art that symbolized simplicity and virtue. The engravings are part of a larger series of portraits of prominent figures of the time.
