kneeling before a crucifix with an open book and skull and his lion on the far

US$173/EUR161.46/GBP141.10 at the time of posting this listing) including
postage and handling to anywhere in the world.
If you are
interested in purchasing this relatively large print (compared to most of the
prints by the Wierix brothers) by one of the most famous of the old master
reproductive engravers, please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and
I will send you a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.
