"Edelman uit Venetië en zijn vrouw Leonella" is a 1641 engraving by Crispijn van de Passe (II) depicting a Venetian nobleman and his wife. The artwork is a double portrait, a common genre in the 17th century. The portraits are in oval frames, a style typical of the period. They are presented with a sense of dignity and composure, and the detail of their dress and the cityscape in the background reflects the artist's attention to detail. The engraving is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
