This small print shows a bishop's crozier, a symbol of a bishop's office. The artist's attention to detail is impressive, even on a tiny scale. He was able to create intricate designs, which was likely influenced by his father's work as a goldsmith. This background may have helped him develop his skills in engraving. The level of detail in this print is similar to the work of other artists who used the technique of chiaroscuro.
