"Oprechte Lammert" and "Deughdighe Geertruyd" is a 1564 ink by Lucas van Doetechum, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows two oval portraits side by side. The person on the left wears a dark cap and a loose collar, looking straight ahead with a serious expression. The person on the right has a softer cap pulled low, their face turned slightly to the side in profile. The artist used fine lines to create texture, especially in the hair and fabric. These portraits were made as individual prints, not painted together. Next, check out the technique: etching.
