From the Art Institute of Chicago record
In this print Hendrick Goltzius simultaneously paid homage to his teacher while also displaying his own virtuosic talent for engraving. By manipulating the difficult process, which includes sculpting directly into a metal plate with a chisel-like tool called a burin, Goltzius achieved an astonishing degree of realism. To underscore the aim of this portrait, Goltzius included the inscription Ad Vivum Depictus (Drawn from Life).
