Portretten van twee onbekende vrouwen, beiden als herderin 1640

"Portretten van twee onbekende vrouwen, beiden als herderin" (Portraits of Two Unknown Women, Both as Shepherdesses) is an etching by Crispijn van de Passe (II), a Dutch artist who was born in 1597 and died in 1670. The artwork depicts two women in oval frames, both dressed as shepherdesses and holding shepherd's crooks. They are posed against a background that appears to be a town with a church in the distance. The work, which is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection, measures 117 mm in height and 152 mm in width. The etchings are an example of the artist’s prolific output and showcase the popularity of pastoral themes in Dutch art of the 17th century.
