AGOSTINO CARRACCI
Saint Jerome.

Engraving, circa 1595. 198x148 mm; 8x6 inches, thread margins. Second state (of 2). A superb impression with very strong contrasts and no sign of wear.

According to Bohlin, Agostino (1557-1602) was influenced by the works of Hendrick Goltzius, and his working of the plate to effect the same virtuosity of technique is apparent in the current engraving. Bartsch 74; Bohlin 205.
