Verdienste en Dienstbaarheid 1605

"Verdienste en Dienstbaarheid" (1605) by Raffaello Schiaminossi (1572-1622) is an engraving depicting two figures personifying virtue and service. The figures are standing on rocky outcrops with text at the bottom of each panel, which are likely quotes from a larger work. This engraving demonstrates Schiaminossi’s understanding of composition and classical mythology. The figures are depicted in a naturalistic style and the composition is balanced, creating a harmonious and visually pleasing artwork. The engraving is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
