The strolling musicians c. 1635

"The Strolling Musicians" is an etching created by Rembrandt van Rijn around 1635. The artwork depicts a group of musicians, including a man playing a flute, a woman holding a baby, and a man with a dog. Rembrandt's signature use of chiaroscuro, a technique that contrasts light and shadow, adds depth and drama to the scene. The etching is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, and is a testament to Rembrandt's mastery of etching and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life.
