Hans Liefrinck

Hans Liefrinck is represented in this archive by a single engraving, a grotesque subject that places him within the tradition of sixteenth-century printmaking devoted to ornamental and fantastic heads. The sheet, Two Grotesque Heads, dates to 1538, and the collection's holding reflects that period, though any impressions may extend beyond the artist's lifetime up to later printings. Engraving is the sole technique recorded for this artist here, so the archive offers a narrow but focused glimpse of his work on paper rather than a broad survey. The single example anchors Liefrinck's presence in the collection to one dated, technically consistent piece.
