Kwatrijnen bij de portretten van de courtisanes genaamd Schone Ifken van Purmerend en Bes Jans van Wormer 1635

Crispijn van de Passe (II) was a Dutch engraver and draughtsman who was particularly known for his portraiture. This work is an engraved print of a poem. In the poem, a woman describes the circumstances of her relationship with a man, and the "courtly" and "romantic" feelings she holds for him. The engravings of the women in the series, of which this is a part, were based on portraits of courtesans and other notable women in Dutch society. While the engravings of these women were included in the series, they were never actually printed. These are notable as they are the earliest engravings to be made by this artist. The print is a good example of the use of the printing press as a form of artistic expression. The image is a small detail from a larger print.
