Liefdespaar 1642 - 1664

"Liefdespaar" (Lovers) is an etching created by Cornelis Bega between 1642 and 1664. The artwork depicts a loving couple seated at a table in a domestic setting, illustrating the intimate connection between two individuals. The detail of a bottle and glasses suggests a convivial atmosphere, and the depiction of the couple's affectionate embrace is typical of Dutch genre painting. The print is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam. Bega, a Dutch artist known for his drawings and etchings, captured the tenderness and intimacy of everyday life in this small but poignant piece.
