Lakei en wasvrouw 1641

"Lakei en wasvrouw" (1641) is an etching by Crispijn van de Passe (II). This artwork depicts two figures: a servant and a laundress. They are presented in oval frames, which was a popular style in the 17th century. Both figures are shown in profile, and their postures and expressions are captured with great detail. The servant appears to be looking at a letter, while the laundress is washing clothes. This print is a fine example of the detailed and realistic style of etching in the Dutch Golden Age. The print is part of a larger series of portraits, which are a part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
