"Erlijcke Lyn" and "Snoepighe Steeve" is a 1564 ink by Lucas van Doetechum, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows two black-and-white portraits side by side, each framed in an oval. The faces are detailed but simple, with short hair and serious expressions. One man has a high collar, while the other wears a loose shirt with a ruffled edge. The titles—*"Erlijcke Lyn"* and *"Snoepighe Steeve"*—sound like playful nicknames, not formal names. The artist used a technique that creates fine lines and textures, likely to show character through small details. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints with needles and acid.
