Portrait of Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert

Hendrick Goltzius (mentioned on object), 1591 - 1592

The skin-like surround (cartouche) of the inscription below the portrait has auricular forms along its lower edge. This was probably their earliest appearance in the Netherlands. Adam and Paulus van Vianen, the silversmiths from Utrecht, knew Goltzius well.
