Crispijn van de Passe the Younger's "Portretten van Anna van Nassau-Siegen en barones van Brederode, beiden als herderin" from 1640 depicts two women, Anna van Nassau-Siegen and a Baroness of Brederode, as shepherdesses, each within an oval frame. Both women wear elaborate headdresses and hold shepherd's crooks. These small, delicate engravings, measuring only 113 mm by 72 mm, are part of a larger series and were likely intended for private collections or as illustrations for books. The image is a fine example of 17th-century Dutch printmaking.
