Antique print, untitled. A seated shepherdess (?) or nun, wearing a hat, with rosary at her belt. A basket beside her. There is some debate wether this print is made by Van den Bosch or Hermanus Fock, who worked in a very similar way. Van Huffel even points to Guillaume Saint as the maker of this print.. State: only state. Ref: Van Huffel 17 (as by Saint) . Artists and Engravers: Made by Anthonie van den Bosch after A. Bloemaert. Anthonie van den Bosch (also Bos, 1763-1838) was a printmaker, painter, and decorative painter. Abraham Bloemaert (1566-1651) was a Dutch painter and etcher/engraver. He was one of the ‘Haarlem Mannerists’, but shifted towards a more Baroque style around 1600.
