Beschrijving
Portrait of Philip II of Spain, full length, en profil, holding a baton.
Etching on hand laid paper, sheet size 167 x 96 mm. Made by Pieter Feddes van Harlingen (monogrammed in the plate), after an unknown designer, c. 1611-1623. Letterpress text on the verso suggests this print was published in a book. We have not been able to establish the publication.
Pieter Feddes van Harlingen (Harlingen 1586 – Leeuwarden 1622) was a Dutch printmaker, publisher, cartographer and painter. His paintings are exclusively portraits, but his prints and drawings also feature other subjects.
In very good condition, cropped within platemark on the right side.
