Philip Spruyt

Philip Spruyt belongs to the eighteenth-century European printmaking tradition, working primarily in etching and engraving on subjects that range from playful children and putti to biblical narrative. His compositions reveal an affinity for figure-rich scenes, whether the tender grouping of three children with fruit and a lamb or the grand encounter of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. This archive holds two of his sheets, one executed in etching and one in engraving, with impressions dated from 1760 to 1784.
