Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Willy Steelink' after 'Cornelis Dusart'. Willem Steelink, Jr. (Amsterdam, 1856-1928, Voorburg) was a Dutch painter and graphic artist, associated with the Laren School. He was inspired by the work of Mauve. Cornelis Dusart (1660-1704) was a pupil of Adriaen van Ostade. He specialized in highly finished works of art on paper with genre subject matter. Dusart made many prints in mezzotint, which resemble closely his washed pen drawings.
