Duitse edelman en een vrouw uit Amsterdam 1641

This 1641 etching by Crispijn van de Passe the Younger, titled “Duitse edelman en een vrouw uit Amsterdam”, is a double portrait of a German nobleman and an Amsterdam woman. The pair are portrayed in separate oval frames, each depicted in a realistic style. The German nobleman is presented in profile, holding a piece of paper in his right hand. The Amsterdam woman, on the other hand, stands in a room with shelves. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is representative of van de Passe's mastery of portraiture and the etching technique.
