Description
-
The etching is based on prints by Etienne Delaune (1518 or 1519–1582) of Paris and Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder (1525–1604) of Antwerp. The inscription on the helmet, COLLERT 1585, indicates that its decoration was done by a member of that distinguished Antwerp family of engravers and printmakers.
