"Dwerg met gitaar; Dwerg met zwaard en masker" is a pair of etchings by Abraham Bosse, a renowned Dutch artist. Created between 1621 and 1676, these detailed engravings depict two comical dwarf figures, one playing a guitar and the other holding a sword and wearing a mask. Bosse's masterful use of line and shading brings these whimsical characters to life, capturing their unique expressions and postures. The etchings, housed in the Rijksmuseum, are small in size, yet impactful, showcasing Bosse's talent for capturing the human form and the grotesque.
