Aurora liggend op een stenen boog 1668 - 1671

"Aurora liggend op een stenen boog" is an etching by Dutch artist Jan de Bisschop, created between 1668 and 1671, now housed at the Rijksmuseum. The drawing depicts Aurora, the Roman goddess of the dawn, reclining on a stone arch, her body rendered in delicate detail. De Bisschop's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and volume, capturing the play of light and shadow across Aurora's form. The etching, a popular technique in the 17th century, allows for a fine level of detail and precision, typical of the Dutch Golden Age style.
