A lovely copy of this engraving by Cornelius Schut, under a large passe partout. Signed in the plate, published by Haest of Antwerp. In near perfect condition, this engraving shows the Adoration of the Shepherds. With the Holy Family on the left and cherubs in the sky. The text engraved states `Cor: Schut in cum priuileg; à Anvers chez J.Haest. Very good impression with plate tone on laid paper with generous margins around. 15,7 x 11,0 cm. The passe partout is a generous 40cm x 29.5cm, and is very clean and neat. There are no marks or holes / edge wear to the sheet. This appears to be a third state of the engraving, which was re-worked by Haest after Schut's death. A rare item. .
