专家说明

This print by Wallerant Vaillant, one of the earliest practitioners of the mezzotint technique, is a reversed copy of a print which Hind attributed to Prince Rupert of the Rhine, who was traditionally understood to be the inventor of this printing technique. Hind's attribution has been doubted, as has been the indentification of the sitter as Prince Rupert himself.
