This anonymous etching from 1615-1617, titled "Samojeden met pijl en boog, op de achtergrond een rendierslee en demonstraties van het schieten met een musket, 1595" (Samoyed with arrow and bow, in the background a reindeer sled and demonstrations of shooting with a musket, 1595) depicts two Samoyed people, a nomadic group from the Arctic, hunting with bows and arrows. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the life and customs of the Samoyed people during the early 17th century, and underscores their dependence on hunting and reindeer for survival. The detailed depiction of their traditional clothing and weaponry showcases the accuracy of this artistic representation of the Samoyed culture in this period.
