Hieronymus Wierix
PORTRAIT OF MICHEL HOSPITALIUS
Francia Cancellarius
Published by Le Blond.
This seems to be a rather rare portrait.
It is not in Mauquoy Hendrickx
Signed with the initials HW bottom middle of the engraved frame.
A large print in the oeuvre of Wierix, certainly for a portrait

A good impression trimmed inside plate border. Removed from a backing with some paper weekness on the backside..
