Lot description
Engraving, 24,2 x 34 cm, signed "Albertus Durer Almanus inventor, S.C.M.tis sculptor Aegid. Sadeler sculpsit./ Cum privil S.C.M.tis" (small repair on verso, trimmed to the platemark).
Stuck by corners under passe-partout.
Second state, well preserved, after Dürer's watercolour drawing, kept in Vienna. The lively composition of the Virgin playing with the infant Christ in a landscape full of varied detail reflects the evolution towards the genre of independent landscape painting.
Ref. Hollstein XXI: 72.
