engraver, who flourished about the year 1630, and resided principally at Antwerp. His plates, Mr Strutt observes, are executed in a very singular style, with the graver only: The strokes are very fine and delicate, and crossed over each other in a lozenge-like form, which he filled up with thin long dots. His prints, though generally very neat, want the style of the matter in the determination of the folds of the draperies and the outline of the human figure; the extremities of which are heavy, and not marked with precision. Fine impressions from his best plates are, however, much sought after by collectors; those especially after Rubens and Jordans are held in high estimation.
