FRANS CRABBE Scenes from the Life of St. John the Baptist.
Woodcut, circa 1522. 270x376 mm; 10 5/8x14 7/8 inches, small margins. A brilliant, richly-inked impression of this extremely scarce print with strong contrasts and the reflief from the block showing on the sheet (without the multiple restorations seen in the impression at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; Boorsch/Orenstein, The Print in the North: The Age of Albrecht Dürer and Lucas van Leyden, New York, 1997, p. 42).
We have found only 3 other impressions at auction in the past 20 years. Hollstein 53.
