Hollstein 64. New Hollstein. Heemskerck
(Veldman) 587, Schéle 51.
Fine impression, good condition.
 
This print is considered to be the chief work by Bos.
The print corresponds generally to a painting
by Heemskerck now in the National Gallery in
Prague. There are differences however so it could
be possible that the print is made after a drawing
by Heemskerck. Maybe that is also the reason why
the name of Heemskerck is not in the print.
