Een vissersvrouw verdrinkt zich samen met haar ongeneeslijk zieke man in zee before 1652

"Een vissersvrouw verdrinkt zich samen met haar ongeneeslijk zieke man in zee" (A fisherwoman drowns herself with her terminally ill husband in the sea) is an etching by Zacharias Dolendo. It depicts a scene of despair as a couple embrace in death in the water. The print, dating before 1652, is characteristic of the Northern Renaissance style with its detailed imagery and emotional focus. The artwork's dramatic depiction of love and loss resonates with viewers and showcases Dolendo's powerful storytelling abilities. The image's small scale, measuring 140 mm by 177 mm, emphasizes intimacy and allows the viewer to focus on the characters' final moments. It is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
