Hendrick Goltzius (1558-1617) (studio, attributed). 3 engravings from a series of 6:

Proverbs after Karel van Mander (1548-1606), the series ca. 1590-1594, all approx. 21 x 17 cm.

Without the text below the image (the sixth print from the series trimmed on bottom in the image, with loss to number and the name Van Mander); else all margins narrow but acceptable. Contains prints 2, 3 and 6 from the series. Hollstein Gillis van Breen 64, 67 and 68 (previous attribution), New Hollstein Van Mander 96, 99 and 100, here in unknown print runs but in fine, apparently early imprints: (1) De huwelijksweegschaal. Geld is de regte liefde; (2) Armoede draag je makkelijker dan rijkdom; (3) Als het hammetje op is, dan moet men de kale beenen wegslingeren. The subjects have previously also been attributed to Brueghel (total 3).
