A veryfine, dark and well-inked Meder a impression with strong contrasts and little to no sign of wear. With the nail piercing the right hand of the left thief and the crossbeam. Trimmed to the borderline. – A small, filled hole next to the Virgin's headscarf. On the reverse, former mounting strips, otherwise in good condition.
