Albrecht Dürer

Albrecht Dürer (1471 - Nuremberg - 1528) - The Holy Family with Joachim and Anna under the tree Woodcut on laid paper. (1511). 23.6 x 15.9 cm (sheet size). Bartsch 96; Meder 215 a (of e); Schoch/Mende/Scherbaum 226 a (of e). Splendid, strong and sharply printed lifetime impression, trimmed to the framing line. With the approx. 1 cm long break in Mary's knee drapery as requested for the early impressions of the sheet, the fine double margin gap between the monogram and the tree cannot be determined due to the missing line. However, the extremely good print quality suggests an early impression. With beautiful relief effect on the reverse. - Barely visible mounting remnants on the verso, the upper right corner minimally rubbed on the verso, otherwise a very fine and well-preserved copy. Taxation: taxed by difference plus 7% (VAT: Margin Scheme (non EU))ne ony lots.
