‘NE TE QUAESIVERIS EXTRA.’ / ‘IANUS. LUTMA. BATAVUS.”

– Bust self-portrait of the Dutch sculptor and medalist Johannes Lutma II, shown with long curly hair and moustache. The artist appears in a sculptural bust format placed upon a pedestal bearing the Latin motto ‘Ne te quaesiveris extra’ (‘Seek not outside yourself’). The dramatic lighting and stipple engraving technique emphasize the sculptural modeling of the face. Lutma engraved this portrait himself using the hammer technique (‘per se opere mallei’), a distinctive method associated with medal making and metalwork. The print was published in 1681.
