Wandelend paar 1607

"Wandelend paar" is an etching by an anonymous artist dating back to 1607. The artwork portrays a man and a woman walking side-by-side through a garden setting. The couple, finely dressed in fashionable attire of the era, appear to be engaged in a conversation. The man, adorned with a hat and a cloak, holds a flower while gazing towards the woman. This intimate scene, captured with detailed cross-hatching, showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail, a hallmark of the Dutch Golden Age. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the social customs and fashion of the early 17th century.
