Hendrick Goltzius
The adoration of the shepherds, 1599
About the object
Goltzius left this motif unfinished. His stepson and fellow artist Matham later added detail to the unfinished plate. He reworked the plate several times. In total, there are six different iterations with their respective prints. On this sheet, the Christ child and the pair of folded hands have been added.
