DUSART Cornélis (Haarlem 1660 † 1704) - "Kopster" (Cartoon). 1695. Original etching. Ref: Bartsch & Hollstein, no. 12. Signed and dated in the composition, lower left. Proof of the 3rd state of 4 (before the address of J. Gole was erased) on watermarked laid paper (Letters), covered on verso with the collector's mark of Würtemberg († 1841), "Divisions-Auditeur" of the Royal Prussian Army in Danzig (Lugt 2606). Fine copper margins. Beautiful impression. A woman, the "Kopster", draws 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 copper mark, small brown stain lower right and short consolidated tear upper left).
