Ariane doodt met pijl en boog een Scyth 1639

This etching, "Ariane doodt met pijl en boog een Scyth" (Ariadne kills a Scythian with bow and arrow), by Abraham Bosse depicts a scene from Greek mythology. Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos of Crete, is shown killing a Scythian with an arrow. The scene is set in a wooded landscape with the figures in the foreground and a distant view of the sky. The etching is a fine example of Bosse's work and demonstrates his skill in creating detailed and expressive figures. It currently resides in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
