  • Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

    Hi Philippe, We know the painting by VanHeemskerck on which the engraving is based. You can find the image here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion_(Heemskerck. An engraving always shows the image mirrored, unless the engraver has taken this into account when transferring the design on the copper plate. Kind regards, Els
