Cornelius Ketel.
Barrett sculp. Publish'd Oct.r 1796 by G.Barrett, Engraver 289 Holborn. Engraving. Sheet 135 x 80mm (5¼ x 3¼"). Trimmed and backed onto album paper at edges. Foxed. Portrait of (1548 - 1616) Dutch Mannerist painter, active in Elizabethan London from 1573 to 1581, and in Amsterdam till his death. Ketel, known essentially as a portrait-painter, was also a poet and orator, and from 1595 a sculptor as well. At times he discarded his brush and painted directly with his fingers, and even developed the trick of painting with his feet and toes.
