Andreas c. 1622 - 1642

"Andreas" is an etching by Dutch artist Andries Both, created between 1622 and 1641. The artwork depicts a solitary figure carrying a cross in a landscape, with a group of people in the background. The detailed lines and cross-hatching of the etching, characteristic of Dutch Baroque art, create a sense of depth and realism. The subject matter alludes to Christian iconography, likely referencing the biblical story of St. Andrew. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and measures 107 mm in height and 77 mm in width.
