Aegidius Sadeler II (ca 1570-1629). (Stag-hunting near a forest lake)

Engraving after Roeland Savery (1576-1639), from a series of six landscapes, 22 x 28 cm, signed "Roelant Saverij Invent:" and "Egidius Sadeler ex:", mounted at corners.

A very fine impression with great contrast, the leaf with small/ thread margins. Fold in upper margin and creased; a few vague stains. Hollstein Dutch, Aegidius Sadeler to Raphael Sadeler II, 233, first state (of 2), before the text in lower right corner. Rare. The Rijksmuseum describes the print as follows: "Hertenjacht bij een bosmeer (...). Bosmeer met zwaar overhangende bomen. Middenachter een hertenjacht. De derde prent in een zesdelige reeks met landschappen." Added: 1 other after Adraen van Ostade (schoolmaster w. three children) (total 2).
