Lucas Vorsterman (1595-1675) Charles Roy de la Grande Bretagne, de France, Hibernie, &c… (Charles Ier). 1631. Eau-forte. 207 x 276. Hollstein 141. Très belle et fraîche épreuve. Petites restes de papier fort collés dans les angles en tête au verso. Marges étroites. « This remarkable portrait of Charles I must be after Vorsterman’s own drawing, since no name of any painter is given. It bears a fulsome dedication by Vorsterman himself to the French Queen dowager, Marie de’ Medici, mother of Louis XIII and of Henrietta Maria. The print is not dated, but must have been made between September and October 1631 when Marie de’ Medici was in Antwerp. » (Antony Griffiths, The Print in Stuart Britain, 1998, Londres, British Museum, n° 32).
