Wijnglas met een man met een berkenmeier in de hand
The Dordrecht dealer and collector Frans Greenwood is renowned as the inventor of stipple-engraving. He probably drew his inspiration from mezzotint engravings. Both techniques are well suited conveying ‘half tones’, or the transitions between varying grey tones. This image is based on a mezzotint by Bloteling after a painting by Jan van Mieris.
