Paar in omhelzing 1658 - 1677

"Paar in omhelzing" (Couple in embrace), a print by Dutch artist Wallerant Vaillant, depicts a couple embracing in a simple interior setting. The intimate scene, created between 1658 and 1677, captures a tender moment between the man and woman, with the man's arm around the woman's shoulder. The composition is characterized by a sense of realism and the soft lighting creates a mood of warmth and intimacy. The artwork is on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and is a notable example of Vaillant's expertise in portraiture.
