Compositie met smekende figuren c. 1627

"Compositie met smekende figuren" (Composition with Pleading Figures), created around 1627 by Jean Dubrayet, features three figures: two men and a woman, all rendered in detailed linework. The figures are depicted in a variety of poses, seemingly engaged in a dramatic scene. The print's small scale emphasizes the emotional intensity of the scene, likely illustrating a moment of fervent prayer or supplication. It is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing human emotion through the language of line. This etching is considered a fine example of the 17th-century Baroque period.
