"Goelijeke Floor" and "Kinne Snavels" is a 1564 ink by Lucas van Doetechum, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two oval portraits side by side. The person on the left wears a dark cap and a light collar, with a serious expression. Their face is detailed, showing wrinkles and a slight smile. The person on the right is shown in profile, also in a dark cap, with a hood pulled up over their head. The two portraits are framed by a simple border, and the print looks like it was made by scratching lines into a metal plate. This was a common way to make multiple copies of an image back then. Look up etching to see how this technique works.
