Burin, 253 x 320 mm. Bartsch 262; Strauss 261; New Hollstein 329, 1st state/4.
Printing of the 1st state (of 4) before the address of Claes Jansz. Visscher (1587-1652). A very fine proof printed on watermarked laid paper (a variant of the single fleur-de-lis type set in a crowned shield (Briquet 7210: Leiden 1585, Amsterdam 1590-1599), reported by Walter L. Strauss for 1st state proofs).
The Dragon Devouring the Companions of Cadmos is one of the most striking Mannerist engravings by Hendrick Goltzius, who in turn engraved a picture painted in the same year by Cornelis Corneliszoon van Haarlem now in the National Gallery, London (inv. no. NG1893).
