Conraet Woumans

Conraet Woumans is represented here by a single etched and engraved sheet, a second state of three according to Hollstein, depicting the education of the Virgin with Saint Anne and the Virgin Mary reading beneath two putti. The composition belongs to the religious printmaking of the early eighteenth century, when such devotional scenes circulated widely as reproductive and illustrative images. The impression carries a date of 1700, and the collection accordingly preserves a single example of his work from that moment, with impressions up to that year standing for the period in which the plate was printed.
