Twee vrouwen bij kind met pijl in borst 1590 - 1624

This engraving, created between 1590 and 1624 by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert, depicts a scene from the Song of Solomon. Two women stand in front of a seated woman, who appears to be distressed. The women are likely representing Jerusalem and the daughters of Zion, searching for their beloved. The engraving is a fine example of the detailed, realistic style of Northern Renaissance art, showcasing the artist's technical skill in capturing human emotion and the natural world. The work is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
