This is a set of etched prints called *Signorum Veterum Icones*. It’s from the Dutch Golden Age, made by Willem Doudijns between 1665 and 1675. Each print shows classical sculptures from Dutch and Italian collections. The prints were made so artists could study ancient statues up close. These statues were prized for how they showed the human body, folds in cloth, and dramatic poses. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum if you want to see more prints like this.
