Etching made by Cornelis Schut (1597-1655).

In very good condition, very dark impression on thin laid paper with narrow margins. Cornelis Schut was specialized in these kind of etchings. He was very creative to make so much different kind etchings with the same subject. All very beautiful and serene.
