Description

Engraving, 1614 circa, lettered in lower margin: "Davit Vinckbon" and "CIVisscher excu." and "Mattahei, 20"

The scene depicts a woody landscape with the owner and his workers in right foreground, several figures, dogs and a large garden in left background; after a subject by David Vinckboons, the print was edited by Nicolas Visscher.

Magnificent proof, splendid contemporary hand-colouring, printed on contemporary laid paper, watermark "coat of arms with fleur-de-lis", with margins, usual trace of central vertical fold, in very good condition.

The excellent quality of the colouring significantly distinguishes and enhances these examples from those in black and white.

Jan van LONDERSEEL (Anversa circa 1570 – Rotterdam 1624/25)

Flemish engraver, etcher and print publisher. He apparently trained in Antwerp, where he may have worked in the workshop of Abraham de Bruyn, father of his brother-in-law Nicolaes de Bruyn. About 1600 he followed his brother A(ha)ssuerus van Londerseel (bapt Antwerp, 30 March 1572; d before 21 May 1649), also an engraver and print publisher, to Rotterdam. He seems to have been active there between 1610 and 1625; in 1614 he was living in Delft.
