Lithograph print of Women at the Grave I acquired at auction. Believe it came from a Belgian container.
I acquired this lithograph print as a group of four framed prints at a local auction. I believe they came from a Belgian container with items offered at the auction. The print is adhered to a back paper and is in almost perfect condition. There are no stains or tears on the print and it is completely intact. A google search of the captions on the print identify it as likely a print titled The Holy Women at the Grave by Flemish engraver artist Lucas Vosterman I, likely after a painting by Rubens. The image is dated c. 1615-75. (This information is from The Met's website, as they have a print of the image in their collection.) My print's dimensions are 14in. x 18in. and the total framed piece is 20in. x 24 7/8in. The frame is in good condition and the piece is all but blemish-free.

Hello,
Your item is a lithograph print titled The Holy Women at the Grave, attributed to Flemish engraver Lucas Vosterman I (1595–1675), likely after a painting by Peter Paul Rubens. The print dates to approximately 1615–1675. Vosterman was a prominent engraver in the Baroque period, known for his masterful interpretations of Rubens’ compositions. His works are characterized by their meticulous detail and dramatic chiaroscuro, reflecting the theatricality of Baroque art.
Your lithograph appears to be in near-perfect condition, adhered to a backing paper, with no visible stains or tears. The frame is also in good condition. The provenance suggests it was acquired from an auction, likely originating from a Belgian collection.
