"Portretten van Elisabeth Stuart en Louisa Juliana, beiden als herderin" is a 1640 engraving by Crispijn van de Passe (II) depicting Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia, and Louisa Juliana, Countess Palatine. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, shows the two women as shepherdesses, a popular motif in portraiture of the time, evoking a sense of innocence and virtue. Van de Passe, a prolific engraver of the Dutch Golden Age, employed a meticulous technique to create the intricate details of the figures and their attire. This engraving offers a glimpse into the artistic conventions and symbolism of the 17th century.
