About this work

With the support of the F.G. Waller-Fonds, the museum acquires not only prints, but also related drawings. This is a drawn design for the surround of a portrait engraving. The draughtsman Karel van Mander was here trying out suitable ornamentation for the portrait of the learned physician Hoogerbeets. The engraver's final design turned out to be very different.
