"Harme Snap-op" and "Keursje-sonder-naed" is a 1564 ink by Lucas van Doetechum, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows two oval portraits drawn with sharp lines and shading. The person on the left has curly hair and a surprised expression, their head tilted slightly. The person on the right wears a cap and looks serious, with a strong jawline and deep shadows on their face. Both portraits are framed by a simple border with a textured background. The artist used a method called etching, where lines are carved into a metal plate to create the image. This was a common way to make prints during the Renaissance.
