Reguliere kanunnik after 1526

This anonymous engraving, "Reguliere kanunnik," depicts a canonical figure holding a book, possibly a breviary, and wearing a cap and robe. The artwork, dating from after 1526, is a fine example of the detailed style of engravings prevalent in the 16th century. The use of hatching and cross-hatching to render the folds of the robe and the form of the figure demonstrates the artist's skill. "Reguliere kanunnik" is housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a testament to the artistry of anonymous engravers during the Dutch Golden Age.
