Urania

Goltzius employed a combination of media, including gray and brown chalk and pen with brown and black ink, to achieve a nuanced effect. The contrast between smooth shading for the dress and sharp pen lines for the face and hands creates a sense of depth.

As a leading Dutch engraver of the early Baroque period, Goltzius's work was marked by intricate compositions and technical mastery, reflecting the artistic values of Northern Mannerism.
