The Carrying of the Cross by Christ with Veronica, print, album page, On the left possibly Simon of Cyrene, who wants to take over the cross from Christ. Veronica gives him a cloth to wipe the sweat from his face. This print is part of an album., printmaker: Lucas Vorsterman (II), Antwerp, after painting by Jacopo Bassano, Italy, publisher: David Teniers (II), Brussels, grantor of privilege: Spanish Crown, 1660, paper, etching, height 231 mm x width 173 mm, David Teniers probably produced an oil study on canvas or panel (so-called pasticcio) of all the paintings in the collection of Leopold William of Austria, which served as a model for the printmakers. It is not always clear whether the pasticci were made by him or by his studio. Not all pasticci have survived., Christ meets Veronica, who has a cloth to wipe Christ's face, A detailed black and white engraving shows a bearded man wearing a crown of thorns and a halo, turned slightly to one side with a somber expression, draped in flowing robes and carrying a large wooden cross behind him; a figure wearing a hat appears behind the cross looking toward him, and a veiled woman in the foreground reaches up with both hands holding a cloth toward the man, her face angled upward; the scene is composed of finely hatched shading and crosshatching with architectural lines visible behind the cross.
