Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-1677) - Petrus Paulus Rubenius ) ca. 1644-1652 Description: Wenceslaus Hollar (1607–1677) – Portrait of Peter Paul Rubens, aged 50. After the self-portrait by Rubens preserved in the Rubenshuis, Antwerp (Rooses 1048). The bust and inscription are rendered with Hollar's characteristic minute precision, while the elaborate and lavish decorative border is Hollar's own invention.

Published by Frans van den Wyngaerde (1614–1679). Lettered within the image in the lower corners with the production details 'WHollar fecit' and 'F. van den Wyngaerde ex:'. Dimensions: 25,30 x 19 cm Condition: A good impression on thin laid paper with large margins. One small brown stain top right corner, some paper weakness in the lower margin just extending a few millimeters inside the lower plate mark, without affecting the decorative picture frame; remnants of old hinges at the corners verso.
