CORNELIS VISSCHER The Large Cat. Etching and engraving, circa 1657. 145x188 mm; 5 3/4x7 3/8 inches. Second state (of 2). Trimmed on the plate mark. A very good, dark and well-inked impression with strong contrasts. The most famous of all prints of cats. Widely-collected for his detailed engraved portraits of prominent figures of his day, Visscher's skill as a printmaker is evident in this image which captures the essence of a resting cat. Hollstein 42.
