"Vijf heiligen" (Five Saints) is an etching by Dutch artist Jan de Bisschop, completed between 1668 and 1671. This piece, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts five figures, likely saints, in a series of poses and gestures. De Bisschop's masterful use of hatching creates a sense of volume and depth, showcasing the delicate anatomy and drapery of the subjects. The etched lines are finely detailed, emphasizing the figures' expressions and the movement of their garments, highlighting De Bisschop's skill in capturing the human form. This small-scale etching exemplifies the artist's talent for intricate draftsmanship and is a testament to his skill in the art of printmaking.
