“HGoltzius fecit Ao 1583”

Excellent impression of this rare print.
Good condition, remargined.
The original date 1582 changed in 1583, but before the address of Herman Adolfsz.
There has been a discussion about the name of the pike bearer. Pieter Dz. Hasselaer has also been suggested. Leesberg in the New Hollstein has decided
on Gerrit de Jong on the base of Weigel and an article by Domela Nieuwenhuis. |

Goltzius made about the same time several other full length portraits, all roughly the same size.
Verso; some old inventory numbers and “sehr selten”.
