ALBRECHT DÜRER Joachim and the Angel.
Woodcut, 1504. 298x210 mm; 11 3/4x8 1/4 inches, narrow to thread margins. High crown watermark (Lugt 20, which he dates from the late 1400s/early 1500s and notes for lifetime impressions). A brilliant, richly-inked and early proof impression before the 1511 Latin text edition with very strong contrasts and no sign of wear, consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject.
