Portretten van de courtisanes genaamd de Schone Toscaanse en La Donna Juliana 1635

Crispijn van de Passe (II)'s "Portretten van de courtisanes genaamd de Schone Toscaanse en La Donna Juliana" (1635) are two engraved portraits of Italian courtesans, the "Fair Tuscan Courtizane" and "the Ladie Iuliana," in oval frames. The work is characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age and features the fine detail and meticulous engravings typical of the period. This print is a prime example of the many portraits of courtesans that were created during this time. While not idealizing the figures, Van de Passe's work highlights the beauty and grace of his subjects. The print is held by the Rijksmuseum.
