Lot description

[Amsterdam], G. Valck, c. 1670-1680

Mezzotint, 28,8 x 38,8 cm, signed "G. Valck excudit cum privilegio" (trimmed to the borderline).

Stuck by upper corners under passe-partout.

Splendid plate after Hondecoeter, the best-known bird painter of seventeenth-century Holland and hence nicknamed the ‘Raphael of birds’. The plate is signed only with the publisher's address and the identity of the printmaker is therefore not clear. The attribution to Blooteling has been suggested for stylistic reasons.
Ref. Hollstein IX: 2 (after Hondecoeter) and XXXI: 234 (under Gerard Valck Excudit).
