A Roman Abducting a Sabine Woman 1571 - 1628

"A Roman Abducting a Sabine Woman" is an etching by Dutch artist Jan Harmensz. Muller, created between 1571 and 1628. It depicts the dramatic moment of a Roman man forcefully carrying off a Sabine woman, a story from Roman mythology. The figures are depicted in a dynamic and highly detailed style characteristic of Muller's work. The engraving captures the struggle and desperation of the woman as she is carried off, her body contorted and her expression full of fear. The Roman man's strong, muscular figure and determined expression highlight his forceful abduction. The artwork is currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
