Siegen, it became very popular in the 17th and 18th c. in the English portrait-painting.Although a very important list of works of Ang. Kauffmann (Ec. Suisse) and Dickinson are mentionned in ‘Le Blanc’s’ bibliography, this particular beautiful work is not mentionned. This plate is offered in a fine, handmade, gilt frame.‘Die Schabtechnik, auch Mezzotinto oder Schwarzkunst genannt, ist ein Tiefdruckverfahren, das 1642 in Holland von dem Deutschen Ludwig von Siegen entwickelt wurde. Sie erlebte im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert in der englischen Porträtmalerei ihren Höhepunkt.Aufgrund des hohen Arbeitsaufwands, der mit dieser Technik verbunden ist, gibt es wenig moderne Arbeiten in Mezzotinto. Dies gilt umso mehr, als sich mit der geschabten Aquatinta ein zumindest ähnlicher Effekt erzielen lässt. ‘wp.radiertechniken.de’. (Sehe auch S.
