Engraving, 294 x 206 mm. Schéle 34, New Hollstein (Maarten van Heemskerck) 433.
Engraved after a design by Maarten van Heemskerck.
Fine impression printed on watermarked laid paper (watermark: unicorn and name difficult to decipher inscribed in a cartouche). Generally in good condition. Four thin areas on the reverse, a very tiny repaired loss of paper in the upper right corner, and two tiny light stains.
The text engraved in the upper right corner is a quotation from the end of chapter 7 of the Epistle to the Romans: “O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death? It will be the grace of God through Jesus Christ our Lord. And so I myself am subject both to the law of God in the spirit and to the law of sin in the flesh.”
