Remoldus Eynhoudt and Remoldus Eynhouedt (1613 – 1680) was a Flemish printmaker who is mainly known for his reproductions after works by Antwerp masters.[1]
There are a number of spelling variants of his first name including Remoldus, Romuldus and Rombout and of his last name Eynhoudts, Eynhouedts, Eynhouedt, Eynhouts and Eÿnhouedts.[1]
His style is characterised by his rigid handling of the etching needle and the stiff depictions of drapery. The outlines of the figures appear unsteady. His crosshatching is irregular and rather crude. He uses a schematic way to etch faces the hands of figures are often too small and with pointy fingers.[3]
