Boerenpaar 1470 - 1475

"Boerenpaar" (circa 1470-1475) is an engraving by the Master of the Amsterdam Cabinet, depicting a farmer and his wife carrying geese. The detailed, almost photographic, rendering of their clothing and the simple yet expressive poses are characteristic of the artist's style. The image, which is only 79mm x 56mm, showcases the skill of the artist in capturing the essence of everyday life in a small, intimate scene. This engraving is a testament to the artist's ability to convey emotion and realism in a tiny format, contributing to the development of printmaking as an art form.
