Provenance: Hungarian National Gallery (Országos Képtár), Budapest; on the reverse, bearing the collector’s stamp (Lugt 2000) and the duplicate stamp “Duplicatum Budapest.” A very fine lifetime Meder a impression, sharply printed with fine details, trimmed to or just inside the borderline, with thread margins in places. Dürer depicts the saint bound to a tree, his arms raised above his head, emphasizing the physical suffering of the human body in a manner rooted in the Northern European pictorial tradition. In this respect, the composition contrasts with Dürer’s earlier engraving “Saint Sebastian Bound to the Column” from circa 1499, which reveals a more classical, Italianate approach. – With some skillfully repaired areas of paper thinning and small paper losses. Some staining. The reverse side has remnants of old adhesive in places; otherwise, it is in good condition. Taxation: subject to differential taxation (VAT: Margin Scheme).
