About this Item
Oval portrait of Floris I (1049 - 1061), who succeeded his brother Dirk IV after his death. Etching and engraving on laid paper. Sheet size 299 x 404 mm., platemark 296 x 398 mm. Made by Cornelis Visscher. Number VI in the top edge of the image. The work 'Principes Hollandiae et Westfrisiae', written by Petrus Scriverius, was published in 1650 by Pieter Soutman in Haarlem, and contained a total of 38 portraits of the Counts of Holland, from the year 863 onward. In very good condition but cropped close to the platemark. Petrus Scriverius (1576 - 1660), the latinised form of Peter Schrijver, was a Dutch author and scholar on the history of the Low Countries, as well as classical literature.
