Portretten van twee onbekende vrouwen, beiden als herderin 1640

Crispijn van de Passe (II)'s "Portretten van twee onbekende vrouwen, beiden als herderin" from 1640, depicts two unidentified women in shepherdess attire, captured in separate oval frames. The artwork is an etching, a technique where acid is used to create lines on a metal plate, producing a unique print. These engravings reveal the artistic talent of van de Passe (II), known for his meticulous detail and mastery of the etching technique. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam houses this small yet intricate artwork.
