Pride.

Engraving, 32,0 x 16,6 cm, laid paper, signed in the plate at bottom left: "HG Inue. I. Matham scu.", numbered 1 at left in lower margin (trimmed to platemark, small part missing at top left, address scratched out at bottom left, small inscription in pencil at bottom right).

Laid down on cardboard.

Personification of Pride (Superbia) from "The Vices" series designed by Hendrick Goltzius (1558-1617). Two lines of Latin text in lower margin, followed by the initials of the author Franco Estius. Since the address is scratched out, it is unclear whether this is the second state published by Claes Jansz. Visscher or the third state published by I. Ottens.
