ANDREA MANTEGNA Bacchanal with a Wine Press.
Engraving, 1498. 279x410 mm; 11x16 1/4 inches. A very good, early and well-inked impression with most of the subject preserved; though fragmentary and reassembled with restored losses upper quadrants and with additions in pen and ink, the quality of this impression, very likely lifetime, is closer to the impression sold at Christie's, London, December 5, 1985, Chatsworth Collection (now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York), than any of the other 5 impressions of this subject that we have found at auction in the past 25 years. Bartsch 9; Hind 4.
