Framed Print of Goldweigher, 17th century
Goldweigher. 17th-century artwork of a goldweigher, with a balance and accounts book, handing a bag of weighed gold to a kneeling assistant. This etching is by the Irish engraver William Baillie (1723-1792). It is based on a 1639 etching by the Dutch artist Rembrandt (1606-1669), in which he depicted Jan Uytenbogaert (1608-1680), Hollands Receiver-General (chief tax collector). The caption for this engraving (not shown) reads: Scilicet improbae crescunt divitiae. This Latin quote on the inevitability and immorality of the growth of wealth is from the Odes of the 1st-century BC Roman poet Horace. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © CHEMICAL HERITAGE FOUNDATION/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
