[14 Steelengravings/staalgravures] Collection of 14 prints, two very early works by Dirk Juriaan Sluyter.
Fourteen plates by Dirk Juriaan Sluyter and his father, Dirk Sluyter. Two engravings are marked as ‘eerste- ‘ and ‘tweede gravure’, featuring the signature and the date of birth of D.J. Sluyter, thus testifying that these two tronies or character-heads were realized when the artist was only 17 years old; the first is signed on the bottom right: ‘D.J.S. f. / 1828 / Geb. 1811. 14 Nov.’ and the second, on the bottom left: ‘DJSluyter sc. / 1828 Geb 14 Nov.’; Other eight plates appear to be first states, as any inscription is missing; the subjects are genre-like or history-related, as well as a portrait of a man seated at a table; A title page, ‘Cinq-mars, of eene zamenzwering onder Lodewijk XIII naar het Fransch…’ published in Amsterdam in 1830, featuring a vignette; two chine collé and another print with Christ on the cross, after A.C. Kruseman and one after C. Rochussen.
