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).
