Description from the Art Institute of Chicago.
Aegidius Sadeler, II made this in about 1601, aged 31. It is now at the Art Institute of Chicago.
How it was made
- Engraving
- Lines cut directly into a metal plate with a steel burin, which makes them swell and taper. It took years to master, and for centuries it was how paintings travelled as pictures.
Aegidius Sadeler, II
Flemish, c. 1570–1629
