FROM THE CLEVELAND MUSEUM OF ART’S CATALOG

Müller adopted Goltzius's engraving style of a dense network of swelling and tapering lines. He sometimes made prints after works by Bartholomeus Spranger (1546-c. 1611), another exponent of the Mannerist style and court painter to the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II (1576-1612) in Prague.
