Portretten van de courtisanes Balbiereis Ket van Frankfurt en Anna Rosina van Marburg 1635

This engraving by Crispijn van de Passe (II) from 1635 depicts two women, Balbiereis Ket from Frankfurt and Anna Rosina from Marburg. The portraits are framed in oval medallions, which was common in prints of this period. The women are presented in a dignified manner, emphasizing their social standing and their role in the court. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is an example of early Dutch printmaking and offers a glimpse into the lives of women during the 17th century.
