Engraving, 24,2 x 34 cm, thin laid paper, signed in plate at lower left edge "Cum privil S.C.M.tis" (lower text margin trimmed off, paper browned).
Late impression on 19th-c. paper. Nice plate.
Second and final state 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.
