Twee nonnen 1478 - 1482

"Twee nonnen" is a 15th-century engraving by the Master of the Amsterdam Cabinet. The piece, which measures 99 mm in height and 79 mm in width, depicts two nuns in a simple interior space, surrounded by swirling ribbons. One nun reads from a book while the other holds a rosary. The work's intimate scale and detailed rendering of the figures and their surroundings exemplify the artistic style of the Netherlandish Renaissance, known for its meticulous attention to detail and realism.
