This complete set of nine engravings by Hendrick Goltzius, dated 1592, depicts the Nine Muses with the masterful technical virtuosity for which the artist is celebrated. Printed in good impressions of Strauss's fourth state of five, the works demonstrate Goltzius's extraordinary command of the burin, conveying rich tonal variation and intricate detail. The set is presented on period paper bearing Grapes watermarks or the Angoumois countermark, adding to the historical and material significance of this cohesive and rare suite.
