"Twee worstelaars" (Two Wrestlers) is an etching by Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert, a Dutch painter and engraver. The artwork depicts two nude men in a wrestling match, their musculature rendered in meticulous detail. This print, dating back to 1552, is an example of Coornhert's skill as an engraver, demonstrating his mastery of line and detail. The dynamic pose and realistic depiction of the wrestlers' bodies make this a compelling study of human anatomy and movement. It is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
