Jakob Mettenleiter

Jakob Mettenleiter is represented in this archive by a single reproductive print, a stipple engraving from 1786 that reproduces a portrait of Helena Fourment, the second wife of Peter Paul Rubens, shown with a fur coat across her shoulders. The sheet belongs to the tradition of engraved copies after old master paintings, translating a painted portrait into the fine tonal network characteristic of stipple work. Beyond this one example the collection holds no further pieces by the artist, so the holdings here amount to a single impression dated to that year.
