Goltzius, H. (1558-1617). The Adoration of the Shepherds

Engraving, 16 x 15.4 cm. Mounted at upper corners under passe-partout. Good impression on fine laid paper, trimmed on the plate mark. The upper part w. the signature of Goltzius, the address of Matham and date 1615 cut off, the lower blank margin cut short just below the thin borderline; central vertical folds; some foxing/ staining. Hollstein 15, probably the final state. Interesting, unfinished print by the master, giving an insight of the process of producing an engraving around 1600.
