Albrecht Dürer

Very good warm-toned lifetime impression from the deliberately uncleaned plate, legs and coat on the right toned, before the vertical scratches in the white sleeve. Trimmed slightly within the platemark. Dürer dedicated several depictions to the saint, who had enjoyed great popularity since the 13th century. He was the patron saint of sailors, carters, and travelers and protected all those who died suddenly without having received the sacraments. – Paper evenly time-stained and fitted into a paper mask. The upper right corner restored and retouched. Traces of white wash on the upper edge of the reverse. Paper slightly rubbed in the centre of the lower edge of the reverse. A small faint red spot on the right edge, otherwise in good condition.
