Schaking van de vrouw 1648 - 1650

"Schaking van de vrouw" (Kidnapping of the Woman) is an etching by Samuel van Hoogstraten, a Dutch painter and engraver who lived from 1627 to 1678. This artwork, created between 1648 and 1650, depicts a scene of abduction in a landscape setting, with a woman being carried away by a group of men. The etching showcases van Hoogstraten's mastery of light and shadow, and his ability to render human figures with expressive detail. The artwork is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, and is a prime example of Dutch 17th-century etching, a technique popularized by Rembrandt van Rijn.
