Twee sibillen 1592

Hendrick Goltzius, a prominent Dutch engraver and draftsman, created *Twee sibillen* in 1592. This etching, housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts two Sibyls, female prophets, in a standing pose. Goltzius's masterful use of line creates a sense of depth and texture in their flowing garments, while their expressions, conveying a sense of wisdom and prophecy, are captured with remarkable realism. The work showcases Goltzius's ability to convey both the physical form and emotional state of his subjects, contributing to his reputation as one of the most accomplished engravers of the Dutch Golden Age.
