* Goudt (Hendrick, 1582/88-1630/48). Ceres seeking her Daughter, after Adam Elsheimer, 1610, etching and copper engraving on laid paper, a good dark impression, trimmed just inside plate mark, remains of paper mount hinges to top margin verso, and two small ownership stamps (Lugt 3926 and Lugt 4812), sheet size 315 x 247 mm (12.4 x 9.75 ins)Qty: (1)NOTESProvenance: Hubert Georges Désiré Dupond (1901-1981/82), Brussels; Albert Aaron Feldmann (1920-1999). Bartsch, Hollstein 5. The second of only seven prints by Goudt, all of which were engraved after paintings by the German artist Adam Elsheimer, who had established himself in Rome at this time. The story is taken from Ovid's Metamorphoses, and illustrates an episode during the search by the goddess Ceres for her daughter Persephone. The goddess stops at a cottage where she is offered a bowl of hot broth by an old woman. A little boy appears and mocks her for drinking so greedily, for which the goddess turns him into a lizard.
