Het masker vande wereldt is a Flemish moralizing book printed in Antwerp in 1646 by the widow and heirs of Jan Cnobbaerts, with text by Adrien Poirters and illustrations by Frederik Bouttats and others, aimed at devout readers. The engravings show interiors with a seated woman before a mirror, a rustic labourer with a basket, and crowded scenes of conflict, with plain line work and strong contrasts of light and shadow that suggest staging and narrative composition for a designer.
