Micha 1613

"Michaeas" is an engraving by Cornelis Galle I, created in 1613. It depicts a bust-length portrait of the biblical figure Michaeas, rendered in a realistic style with fine detail in the clothing and facial features. The figure is positioned in profile, holding a scroll in his hand, which reinforces the historical and religious context of the piece. This work is a prime example of Galle's artistic skill in engraving, showcasing his ability to translate a subject's essence onto the paper.
