Luitspelende heer en dame 1772 - 1774

"Luitspelende heer en dame" (1772-1774), a delicate etching by Dutch artist Bernhard Schreuder, captures a tender moment between a gentleman and lady. The couple, adorned in refined attire, are seated in a luxuriously furnished room, each playing a lute. Schreuder's meticulous linework and the intimate setting evoke a sense of grace and refined elegance. This charming piece is a testament to the enduring power of music and romance, and it reflects the artistic sensibilities of the late 18th century.
