ALBRECHT DÜRER
Apollo and Diana.

Engraving, circa 1504. 115x72 mm; 4 1/4x2 7/8 inches, thread margins. A superb, richly-inked Meder a-b impression with strong contrasts, with the shading of the figures' torsos distinct. Ex-collection unknown collector, red ink stamp verso (not in Lugt).

The composition for this engraving and another by Dürer, The Satyr's Family, 1505, are related to engravings by the Venetian printmaker Jacopo de'Barbari (1450-1516). Bartsch 68; Meder 64.
