Description :

A produced print titled The Misers, based on the original painting by Flemish Renaissance artist Quentin Matsys (1466–1530). This version reproduces the 19th-century engraving by Herbert Bourne, and was published by George Barrie of Philadelphia—renowned for high-quality art prints and reproductions of Old Master works.

The image depicts two figures hunched over a ledger, surrounded by coins and valuables—a classic allegory of greed and avarice, popular in Northern Renaissance art. The print shows strong contrast and fine detail, reflecting the precision of Bourne’s original engraving.

Presented under glass in a simple wood frame with a wide mat showing foxing and age-related discoloration. A collectible example of late 19th-century art publishing, blending Renaissance iconography with Victorian-era printmaking traditions.


Dimensions : 18 in W x 22 in H
