A good, strong impression, with the gap at the top right borderline. The Holy Family with the three Hares is arguably the most appealing of the artist's woodcuts and one of the few idyllic images Dürer created in the medium. Thread margins or trimmed to the borderline. – Faint scattered foxing. Paper slighty time-stained and somewhat wrinkled along the horizontal centrefold. Occasional paper thinning on the reverse. Delicate folding marks in the corners. Verso along the right margin and in the upper corners with remnants of former mounting. In good condition.
