Descrizione
A very good dark Meder c impression, printing already with the wiping marks to the left of the man's shoulder. With an up to 2-3 mm margin around the borderline. The advance of the Turks towards the west and their influence towards the end of the 15th century inspired Dürer to create this depiction. With a date of origin of "around 1496", the sheet still belongs to the graphic art of the 15th century. – The paper is slightly time-stained; at the lower left with tiny brown spots. Verso with small remnants of former mounting tapes, otherwise in very good condition. Very rare.
