Portretten van een courtisane en haar kamermeid 1630 - 1632

This etching by Crispijn van de Passe (II) depicts two portraits in oval frames. On the left is a portrait of “M. Margery of Richmond”, and on the right “Doritie her Chambermaid” identified with text in the print, both likely members of the British Royal Court. Both women are depicted in profile, possibly reflecting the artist’s interest in portraiture during his time in England. This work is an example of a popular form of portraiture during this period, with the use of text labels identifying the figures depicted.
