Vijf zeegodinnen voortgetrokken op een vaartuig 1608 - 1650

"Vijf zeegodinnen voortgetrokken op een vaartuig" is an etching by Pierre Brebiette, a prominent Dutch artist of the early 17th century. The artwork, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts five sea goddesses being towed on a vessel through turbulent waters. This scene, rendered in detailed lines, showcases Brebiette's mastery of engraving and his fascination with mythological themes. The artwork, measuring 136 mm by 191 mm, reveals Brebiette's preference for smaller, intimate works, which often served as illustrations or decorative elements in books or private collections.
