ORIGINAL COPPER PLATE (The Schorr Collection Addendum 2022 page 40) Etching, 1656, probably New Hollstein’s third (but possibly fourth) state (of five), a fine though slightly later impression Plate: 19.6 x 15 cm. Provenance: Harrods Fine Art, 24 July 1973 Literature: Bartsch 276; cf. Hinterding 2008, no. 204; New Hollstein 293 Jan Lutma (c.1584-1669) was born in Emden, settled in Paris for 5 years, then in 1621 moved to Amsterdam. He was a highly regarded and successful gold and silversmith who did a lot of work for the City of Amsterdam. Towards the end of his life he became blind; and here he is depicted in his later years, seated with a silver vessel beside him on a table, as well as a hammer and a pot of punches for his work on the silver. In his right hand he appears to be clutching the base of another silver object
