About this work
Jegher’s print is a simplified version of painting by Rubens from the 1630s. In the painting the Virgin is surrounded by saints, who are missing in the print. This is an impression of the finished print, thus a stage further than the adjacent impression. The white lines have been cut out of the tone block, almost entirely in keeping with Rubens’ instructions.
