ORIGINAL 17th (LATE) CENTURY ETCHING
PORTRAIT OF SIR FRANCIS DRAKE (English seafarer, 1540-1596)
A copy, larger size, of the etching in the National Portrait Gallery, London ref. NPG D25403 by Johann Wierix (Flemish 1549-1620) after Jean Rabel. Please zoom in on my final photo to compare.
Unsigned.
Size is approx 16.2 x 10 centimetres.
CONDITION. Trimmed onto/into the image line. Damage and abrasions to the bottom right corner. One or two thin spots. Otherwise a clear impression, age-toned and printed on fairly thin \"laid\" paper, circa 1700. (I\'ve attempted to show a fraction of the paper in my penultimate photo). Laid down on a support sheet of what looks like 19th century paper.
