Boerenpaar 1510 - 1550

This small-scale etching titled "Boerenpaar" (Peasant Couple) by Sebald Beham was created sometime between 1510 and 1550. The detailed print depicts a peasant couple, the man dramatically gesturing with his right hand, while his female companion stands quietly beside him, clad in a large cloak. The work is known for its sharp lines and skillful rendering of the figures, making it a fine example of Beham's mastery of printmaking during the Northern Renaissance. "Boerenpaar" is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
