Portretten van twee courtisanes 1630 - 1632

Crispijn van de Passe (II) created this etching titled "Portretten van twee courtisanes" (portraits of two courtesans) circa 1630-1632. The artwork is a double portrait depicting two women, identified as "M' Mary C.P." and "My Lady of Oxm." Both women are depicted in oval frames, wearing fashionable attire of the period. Van de Passe, known for his portraiture and printmaking, employed fine lines and intricate details to capture the subjects' likenesses and convey the social status associated with their attire. The artwork, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, stands as a testament to the artistic excellence and social dynamics of 17th-century Netherlands.
