Description Original Oil painting on canvas antique boats and windmill early 1900's European riverscape with indistinct signature LRC. The canvas is stretched on a hand adzed wooden frame consistent with 18th century woodwork. It is common practice to overpaint on top of an old antique canvas painting and this may have been the case. However the landscape painting is very good quality and has been signed by the artist to the front and again on the back of the canvas.

| Title Set of four engravings of Roman Emperor medallions in gilt frames after Jegher-Goltzius woodcuts | |
     |
Set of four engraving Antique Roman Emperor coins in gilt frames after Jegher-Goltzius woodcuts of the 17th century. Mounted under glass and in gilt frame. These are reprints of the original chiarusco woodcut (with brown tone) combined with a line etching, on a verge type hand laid paper. The original print originates from an edition of Hubert Goltzius' 'Icones Imperatorum Romanorum' (this edition is not dated). The first edition of this work was published between 1557 and 1560 in Antwerp by J. Coppens van Diest. Given the appearance of eg. Rudolph II in this edition, some portraits were added after Goltzius' time in later editions. Artists and Engravers: Hubert Goltzius is often credited with etching the portraits. Christoffel Jegher made the woodcuts. Christoffel Jegher (1596-1652/3) was a wood engraver born at Antwerp. He worked for Rubens from 1627 and is probably a pupil of Christoffel van Sichem. Hubert Goltzius (1526-1583) was a Dutch humanist author, antiquarian and numismatist. He was born in Venlo, and studied under Lambert Lombard in Liege and later in Antwerp. He settled in Bruges in 1558 and starts publishing several works on ancient numismatics.
