$2750
JACOB DE GHEYN III (Leiden 1596-Utrecht 1644) Dutch School c.1618 Etching “Triton Blowing on a Conch”, produced between 1616 and 1620, is a little printmaking gem from the period of Dutch Mannerism. The wiry, muscular torso of the sea god, half human and half fish, is presented in lost profile. This exotic mythological figure sparked De Gheyn’s creative imagination and inspired him to an Arcimboldo like design. NOTE: Very rare first state of two. I/II, before Hondius excudit [Hh exc.]; Bartsch 18, New Hollstein 19.
