De Bruyn, a Flemish engraver and publisher based in Antwerp, produced this series to document the diverse clothing styles of global cultures. The work reflects the European fascination with the Ottoman Empire during the late sixteenth century, a period when trade and diplomatic contact between the West and the East were increasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition presents four figures arranged in a linear fashion, typical of costume books of the era. Each figure is depicted with attention to the specific textiles, patterns, and accessories that defined their social or professional status. The Latin inscriptions at the base provide context for the attire, distinguishing between the domestic dress of commoners and the specific garments worn by individuals in public or military roles. The central male figure, equipped with a bow and quiver, contrasts with the three female figures, whose layered robes and head coverings demonstrate the variety of traditional dress found within the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the print displays the precise line work characteristic of sixteenth-century copperplate engraving. The application of colour, likely added by hand after the initial printing, enhances the visual distinction between the fabrics. The figures stand upon a simple ground line, a common convention in early modern illustration that prioritises the clarity of the costume over environmental detail. This print offers a glimpse into how European observers categorised and visualised the inhabitants of the Ottoman world, serving as a record of historical fashion and cultural perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/justice-truth-and-the-future-in-the-stocks-before-the-false-judge-albrecht-durer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJustice, Truth, and the Future in the Stocks before the False Judge - Albrecht Dürer — Albrecht Dürer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/zevende-gezicht-op-het-colosseum-te-rome-hieronymus-cock\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eZevende gezicht op het Colosseum te Rome - Hieronymus Cock — Hieronymus Cock\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Abraham de Bruyn","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491532083535,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491540701519,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491540734287,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491540767055,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491540799823,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491540832591,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491540865359,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491540898127,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491540930895,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491540963663,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491540996431,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491541029199,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Plate-34_-Ottoman-Female-and-Male-Attire_Poster_CompositorV1_1786382418455.jpg?v=1786924892"},{"product_id":"plate-vi-cattle-in-a-rural-setting-abraham-de-bruyn","title":"Plate VI (Cattle in a Rural Setting) - Abraham de Bruyn","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed sixteenth-century engraving by Abraham de Bruyn, depicting cattle in a pastoral setting with precise line work and classical composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Abraham de Bruyn, a Flemish printmaker active in the late sixteenth century, presents a pastoral scene featuring four cattle positioned within a rural environment. The composition is structured around a central tree, which serves to anchor the animals as they graze or stand in the foreground. De Bruyn employs a precise, linear technique characteristic of the period, using hatching and cross-hatching to define the musculature of the cattle and the textures of the surrounding terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe background reveals a distant, rolling topography, complete with a small structure perched upon a hill, suggesting a classicised European countryside. The artist balances the heavy forms of the livestock with the lighter, more delicate rendering of the foliage and the distant horizon. This work reflects the interest in natural history and rural life that occupied many printmakers of the Northern Renaissance. The focus remains on the anatomical observation of the animals, rendered with a clarity that allows the viewer to examine the physical traits of each creature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a printmaker, de Bruyn was known for his technical proficiency and his ability to translate complex subjects into accessible, reproducible formats. This plate is representative of the era's output, where such prints were often collected as part of larger series documenting the natural world or rural customs. The monochromatic nature of the engraving emphasises the draughtsmanship, allowing the viewer to appreciate the artist's control over the burin. The scene is quiet and observational, avoiding dramatic narrative in favour of a steady, rhythmic depiction of agricultural life. It remains a clear example of the graphic arts during the late sixteenth century, providing a window into the aesthetic priorities of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/virgin-and-child-with-an-apple-martin-schongauer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eVirgin and Child with an Apple - Martin Schongauer — Martin Schongauer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/judas-thaddeus-lucas-van-leyden\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJudas Thaddeus - Lucas van Leyden — Lucas van Leyden\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Abraham de Bruyn","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491562426703,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491564982607,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491565015375,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491565048143,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491565080911,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491565113679,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491565146447,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491565179215,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491565211983,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491565244751,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491565277519,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491565310287,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Plate-VI-Cattle-in-a-Rural-Setting-_Poster_CompositorV1_1786383247118.jpg?v=1786925598"},{"product_id":"susanna-and-the-elders-abraham-de-bruyn","title":"Susanna and the Elders - Abraham de Bruyn","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed sixteenth-century engraving by Abraham de Bruyn depicting the biblical story of Susanna and the Elders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Abraham de Bruyn depicts the biblical narrative of Susanna and the Elders. The scene captures the moment of confrontation, where two men approach Susanna while she bathes in a garden. De Bruyn employs a characteristic Northern Renaissance approach to the composition, balancing the figures against architectural and botanical elements. The fountain serves as a central anchor for the figures, while the palm tree and the arched structure in the background provide a sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist uses precise, controlled lines to define the forms and textures of the drapery, the stone fountain, and the surrounding foliage. The Latin inscription at the base, 'CIRCUNVENTA DOLIS DEXTRA LEVAQUE REPUGNANS CONSERVARE CUPIT MORTE PUDICITIAM', translates to the idea of Susanna being surrounded by deceit, resisting with both hands, and desiring to preserve her modesty even at the cost of her life.

The work remains a clear example of the graphic traditions of the Low Countries, where the medium of engraving allowed for the dissemination of complex narratives to a broader audience beyond the immediate reach of large-scale paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/virgin-and-child-with-an-apple-martin-schongauer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eVirgin and Child with an Apple - Martin Schongauer — Martin Schongauer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/judas-thaddeus-lucas-van-leyden\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJudas Thaddeus - Lucas van Leyden — Lucas van Leyden\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Abraham de Bruyn","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491593589071,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491595718991,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491595751759,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491595784527,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491595817295,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491595850063,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491595882831,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491595915599,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491595948367,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491595981135,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491596013903,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491596046671,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Susanna-Accused-by-the-Elders_Poster_CompositorV1_1786383847033.jpg?v=1786926282"},{"product_id":"de-verloren-zoon-ontvangt-zijn-erfdeel-abraham-de-bruyn","title":"De verloren zoon ontvangt zijn erfdeel - Abraham de Bruyn","description":"\u003cp\u003eA sixteenth-century engraving by Abraham de Bruyn depicting the biblical scene of the Prodigal Son receiving his inheritance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Abraham de Bruyn depicts a scene from the biblical parable of the Prodigal Son.

De Bruyn, a prolific printmaker based in Antwerp, utilised the precision of the burin to capture the textures of the subject's attire, from the stiff ruff collar to the heavy, layered chains of office.

A plumed hat rests on a table to the left, serving as a secondary attribute of his status. Below the figure, an inscription in German provides his titles, confirming his role as Margrave of Brandenburg and Duke of Prussia.

The work presents two distinct figures: an Irish horseman and a Spanish gentleman. The Irish rider is depicted in motion, mounted on a horse, with his attire and weaponry reflecting contemporary European perceptions of the Irish as wild or untamed. The Spanish gentleman, by contrast, is shown with the rigid posture and formal dress associated with the nobility of the period, including a ruff and structured doublet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Bruyn was a prolific engraver who produced numerous plates documenting the dress of various nations and social classes.

Produced during the late sixteenth century, the work reflects the European fascination with the dress and social structures of the Ottoman Empire. De Bruyn, a skilled engraver based in Antwerp, was known for his systematic documentation of contemporary costumes from various regions and cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition features two distinct panels, each framed by a decorative border containing botanical and avian motifs. The left panel shows a lieutenant mounted on horseback, wearing a tall, plumed headdress and traditional military attire. The right panel presents a captain in a similar pose, also mounted and equipped with ceremonial weaponry. The figures are rendered with precise, thin lines, typical of the period's printmaking techniques. The Latin and German inscriptions provide identification for the subjects, serving as a visual record for a sixteenth-century audience interested in foreign customs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surrounding borders add a layer of ornamental detail, contrasting with the relatively austere depiction of the soldiers.
