Printdrawing on hand laid paper. Printdrawing is a reproductive technique combining etching in the crayon manner and roulette, with other techniques, to approach the free line of pencil drawing.

Bernard Schreuder (died 1780 Hoorn) was a Dutch etcher and printmaker, and a employee of the workshop of Cornelis Ploos van Amstel. Govert Flinck (Cleve 1615-1660 Amsterdam) was a German-born Dutch painter and art collector.
