DUSART Cornélis (Haarlem 1660 1704) - "Kopster". 1695. Original etching. Ref: Bartsch & Hollstein, no. 12. Signed and dated in the composition in the lower left corner. Proof of the 3rd state of 4 (before the address of J. Gole was erased) on watermarked laid paper (Letters), covered on the reverse with the collection mark of Würtemberg ( 1841), "Divisions-Auditor" of the Royal Prussian Army in Danzig (Lugt 2606). Fine copper margins. Beautifully printed. A woman, the "Kopster", takes blood from a woman. This was done for medical reasons but also to discover the truth about blood love. Given the mocking tone of the verse, the latter is more likely. 25.5 x 17.3 cm. Condition B (cut inside the copperplate mark, small brown stain at lower right and short consolidated tear at upper left).
