Reproductie van een gravure van een portret van Pieter Coecke van Aelst door Johannes Wierix before 1877

This 19th-century reproduction of a portrait of Pieter Coecke van Aelst by Joseph Maes is a black and white engraving that shows the Flemish painter holding a palette and brushes. The engraving is a faithful reproduction of the original work by Johannes Wierix, which depicts Coecke van Aelst in a typical artist's garb. The inscription "Jo. Maes" in the lower right corner suggests that Joseph Maes created this reproduction, and the signature below identifies the subject and dates of his life. This reproduction would have appealed to art lovers interested in Flemish Renaissance painters and provides a glimpse into the life of Pieter Coecke van Aelst.
