Portretten van de courtisanes genaamd Schone Jenne van Arras en Marotte van Nancy 1635

This 1635 engraving by Crispijn van de Passe (II) depicts two portraits of courtesans: "Schone Jenne van Arras" and "Marotte van Nancy." The work is part of a series showcasing influential women, a common theme in 17th-century portraiture. The print's style is characterized by fine lines and hatching, typical of the period's engraving techniques. The detailed costumes and oval frames further accentuate the focus on the individuals and their societal roles. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and provides a valuable insight into the artistic trends and social dynamics of 17th-century Europe.
