Rest on the Flight into Egypt
In addition to a host of engravers, Rubens also engaged the woodcutter Christoffel Jegher to reproduce his work. Jegher’s, often sizeable, sheets were printed in two colours and will have mostly served as wall decoration. This proof impression is printed with two blocks: a line block, and a tone block for the ochre tint. In this impression Rubens indicated with brush and wash where the white lines had to be cut away in the tone block.
