Ierse ruiter en Spaanse heer 1576 - 1596

This etching, part of a larger series of prints, depicts a mounted rider with a Spanish gentleman, both in period dress. Created by Abraham de Bruyn between 1576-1596, the work is a fine example of Renaissance art, known for its detailed figures and landscapes. The fragmented state of this piece, now in the Rijksmuseum, allows for a unique glimpse into the materials and techniques of printmaking at the time. The etching style is known for its distinctive lines and deep shadows.
