Tastzin 1630 - 1654

This 17th-century engraving, titled "Tastzin," is part of a series by the anonymous artist depicting the five senses. The print, measuring just over 10cm by 13cm, shows a woman holding a bird, symbolizing the sense of touch. The woman's expression and the presence of a spiderweb in the background contribute to a subtle sense of unease, further emphasizing the theme of the artwork. "Tastzin" is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
