Hollstein 62/63. Jan Muller, son of an Amsterdam printer, printmaker and publisher, was one of the most sought-after Mannerist printmakers at the end of the sixteenth century, who developed a style modelled on that of Hendrick Goltzius, the leading draughtsman and printmaker in the northern Netherlands. At the beginning of the seventeenth century, he began to engrave portraits, mostly of important political figures, reproducing painted portraits by various artists. Among the largest and most complex are the portraits of Joannes Neyen, Prince Maurits, and the present work, Albert and Isabella of Austria
