In the center of this characteristic Auricular Style cartouche the likeness of three of the most prominent artists at the Hapsburg court of Rudolf II in Prague have been depicted. In the foreground is the painter Hans von Aachen who is painting the portrait of the goldsmith Paulus van Vianen. Joining them in the background is the sculptor Adriaen de Vries. The print celebrates not only the three art disciplines held in greatest esteem by Rudolph II, but also emphasizes the fact that the main protagonists of these had been artists of northern descent.
