Lot description
1516
Engraving, 13 x 17 cm (trimmed just outside the borderline).
Stuck by upper corners under passe-partout.
First state, without signs of the later retouching and without the address of Antonio Salamanca. This very fine impression shows the Sibyl receiving light rays into a basket of sand. She attained longevity from Apollo for as many years as the grains of sand she held.
Ref. Bartsch 14/123.
