Catawiki’s goal is to make special objects universally available. Our weekly auctions feature thousands of unusual, rare, and exceptional objects you won’t find in just any store.

Coeval edition on laid paper in excellent condition, trimmed along the margins. The old collector's stamp is present on the reverse, at the bottom: J.E. Wetterauer.
According to the British Museum conservator: "This plate was formerly attributed to Francis Cleyn, then placed with the unidentified Dutch and Flemish prints. Stylistic comparison with Gaspars' etchings permits tentative attribution to him."
