Blad met twee vignetten 1700

"Blad met twee vignetten," created in 1700 by Dutch artist Dirk Janszoon van Santen, features two vignettes, or small illustrations, within oval frames. The top vignette depicts a man in a blue robe, possibly a biblical figure, gesturing towards a cityscape. The lower vignette portrays a group of individuals in a crowded setting, likely a scene from a biblical narrative. Van Santen, born in 1638 and active until his death in 1708, is known for his detailed miniature paintings. These vignettes, framed in gold, showcase his meticulous brushwork and mastery of capturing the essence of biblical stories in miniature.
