Hendrick Goltzius
Hendrick Goltzius stands among the defining engravers of the late sixteenth century, whose prints circulated his mastery of the burin across Europe. His work spans mythological subjects and figure studies, often pairing finished compositions with lively sketches on the reverse. The single sheet held here, engraved in 1592, depicts Pluto, with red chalk studies of a figure, four heads, and a column drawn on its verso.
