Lot description

Augsburg, c. 1519

Etching, 22,7 x 15,8 cm, laid paper, signed "H.H." in the plate at left edge (trimmed to the platemark, some plate tone in halo and around the edges, glued on passe-partout).

Under passe-partout.

Rare copy by Hieronymus Hopfer, after the portrait by his father of Emperor Maximilian. The etched portrait underscored Maximilian's devotion to George as the patron of the order founded by his father and as model chivalrous knight, whose conquest over the dragon made him the vanguard of the army of Christians.
