"Afbeeldinghe der vyf siennen" is a 18th-century engraving by Reinier and Josua Ottens, depicting the five senses. The print uses allegorical figures to represent sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, with a focus on the metaphorical experience of these senses. The image features several couples, symbolic animals, and detailed landscapes, framed by decorative cartouches with accompanying Dutch text. The work is a prime example of Dutch Baroque engraving and is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
