Portretten van twee onbekende hooggeplaatste vrouwen, beiden als herderin 1640

This etching by Crispijn van de Passe (II) depicts two unknown noblewomen dressed as shepherdesses. The women's names are "Amolosa" and "Debora" and they are portrayed in an oval frame, each against a backdrop of a landscape with buildings. This artwork, created in 1640, is characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age, a period known for its detailed and realistic portraiture. The artist uses a meticulous style to capture the women's features and intricate clothing, showcasing the technical mastery of the period. This print from the Rijksmuseum is a testament to van de Passe's skill as a printmaker and offers a glimpse into the lives of prominent women during the 17th century.
