The portrait is a copy in the same direction of Galle s ear<br />
lier portrait of Ortels, included in the 1572-edition of the<br />
portrait series (see above).The portrait was engraved a few<br />
years later by Philips Galle on request of Plantin on the<br />
occasion of the edition of the Tkeatrum orbis ierrarum that<br />
he was to publish in 1579 (Ortels 1579).The portrait was<br />

HoUstein, vol. 8, p. 61, no. 204ad;TIB. 3, p. 169, no. 180;<br />

The engraving has been attributed by some to Hendrick<br />
Goltzius. Hirschmann, however, rejected this attribution,<br />
while Hollstein listed the print without a number and<br />
Strauss Included this portrait as "probably engraved by<br />
another hand'. According to the inscription 'HG in" the<br />
portrait has been engraved after a drawing by Goltzius.<br />
This is supported by the fact that there also exists a draw<br />
ing of Ortels s sister Catherine, dated 1586, in the Musée<br />
Condé In Chantüly (cp. Reznicek 1961, loc. clt.). The<br />
inscription indicates that Philips Galle himself engraved<br />
this portrait of his friend; both style and technique sup<br />
port this attribution. The Inscription is exactly the same<br />
as on Galle s 1579-portrait of Ortels and might thus have<br />
simply been copied from this print, without actually refer<br />
ring to Galle as the engraver.Verses by Andreas de Paepe.
