Jacob de Wit

Jacob de Wit is represented in this archive by a single etching, a second state of two, made in 1711. The sheet, titled Saint Gregory surrounded by other saints, in front of an archway with putti holding garlands overhead, places him within the printmaking of the early eighteenth century, where religious subjects were carried through line and hatching. The collection thus offers one example of his etched work from that year, with impressions up to 1711.
