Portretten van de courtisanes genaamd Schone Malmeuspier en Vrouw Anna L. 1635

This etching by Crispijn van de Passe (II) from 1635 depicts two portraits of courtesans. The first portrait, titled "The beautiful Valmeuder of Denmark," shows a woman with elaborate hair styled in a bun and a wide ruff, while the second portrait, "The Lady Anna L.," depicts a woman with a delicate, lace-trimmed crown and a flowing dress. This work is a fine example of portraiture in the 17th century, which often highlighted the social status and beauty of the subjects. The intricate detail and the careful composition of the two portraits contribute to their elegance and charm.
