134300 - Portrait of Sir George Carew by Hans Holbein 1812.

Portrait of Sir George Carew by Hans Holbein 1812. This stipple engraving is from Portraits of Illustrious Personages of the Court of Henry VIII: Engraved in Imitation of the Original Drawings of Hans Holbein, in the Collection of His Majesty. With a Biographical and Historical Memoirs by Edmund Lodge. Published by John Chamberlaine, London 1812. The plates were printed on either pink or white paper and are remarkably well preserved in bright colours. The stipple engravings, with the colouring applied on a copper plate (a la poupée) results in unequalled quality of finishing. The coloured paper chosen also copies the type of paper used by Holbein in his original drawings. Size: approx. 9.5in x 13in (24cm x 33cm) The print is in excellent condition - please inspect the image carefully for any age related marks
