Diamond-point engravers favoured imported English lead glass because it was soft and easy to engrave. Its shiny surface also provided a good background for the matt engraving. \r\n\r\nFrans Greenwood, a Dordrecht merchant born of English parents, was an amateur poet, draftsman and glass engraver. Many of his engravings on glass have survived. They are fully signed and usually dated, and he probably made most of them as gifts for his friends. This piece, dated 1720, is the earliest known glass decorated by Frans Greenwood. It is the only one he engraved in line. On all the others he used stipple engraving, in which he built up the design from minute dot-shaped scratches.The figures here are based on an etching of characters from the Italian <i>Commedia dell'Arte</i>.","physicalDescription":"This is the earliest known glass decorated by Frans Greenwood.
