Edelman uit Venetië en zijn vrouw Paulina 1641

"Edelman uit Venetië en zijn vrouw Paulina" is an engraving by Crispijn van de Passe (II), created in 1641. The artwork features two oval portraits, one depicting a Venetian nobleman and the other, his wife, Paulina. The print is part of a larger series of portraits created by Van de Passe that were intended to be satirical, as the text beneath the portraits suggests. This small, detailed work is a prime example of 17th century printmaking, showcasing the intricate details of the figures and their surroundings. The print is a part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
