The Promenade.

Engraving, circa 1496-97. 195x121 mm; 7 5/8x4 3/4 inches. A very good, dark and richly-inked Meder c impression, with the jagged, diagonal line across the lower tree trunk but before the fine shading on the woman's neck and headdress grows faint. Trimmed on the plate mark, light scattered skinning verso not affecting the image. A superb, evenly-printed impression with strong contrasts. Bartsch 94; Meder 83.
