The oldest of five artist brothers, Wallerant Vaillant was a successful Dutch artist who made several portraits of royalty. He frequently used the newly discovered technique of mezzotint, as he has done in this print, in which the surface of a copper plate is entirely roughened by a rocker and then burnished to achieve tonal effects.
