Description from the Art Institute of Chicago.
Werner van den Valckert made this in about 1620, aged 35. It is now at the Art Institute of Chicago.
How it was made
- Woodcut
- A relief print. The block is cut away around the lines, so the lines stand up to take the ink, and the sheet is pressed onto them.
- Laid paper
- Handmade on a mould of close-set wires, which leave fine parallel lines you can see when the sheet is held to the light.
Werner van den Valckert
Dutch, 1585–1627
Dutch Golden Age
Seventeenth-century painting from the Dutch Republic: still lifes, interiors, portraits and flat, wide skies.
