Sanguinisch temperament 1549 - 1591

"Sanguinisch temperament" is a small woodcut print, likely from a larger series representing the four humors, created by an anonymous artist between 1549 and 1591. The work features a woman standing in a landscape, holding a musical instrument, while a monkey plays a violin on a larger monkey seated on a sack. This piece is held in the Rijksmuseum, and demonstrates the graphic arts styles popular in the Netherlands during the 16th century.
