An original Albrecht Dürer engraving.

1497

Original engraving printed in black ink on laid paper bearing a portion of the “Bull’s Head” watermark (Meder 62) found in the earliest impressions of this engraving.

Signed in the plate with the artist’s monogram lower center.

A superb 16th century/lifetime Meder “a” (of d) impression, printed prior to the appearance of the arc shaped scratch across the body of the lady.

Catalog: Bartsch 82; Dodgson 16; Panofsky 189; Meder 84.a; Strauss 18; Schoch/Mende/Scherbaum 16

According to Max Allihn in his book Dürer-Studien (Leipzig, 1871) “The subject (of this etching) is quite clear; it is the old story, told hundreds of times, of the lady in love with her squire, but it is also a protest against the views of the nobility which must have secured for Dürer the applause of the bourgeois circles for which he worked.”
