Angelica and Medoro.

Engraving, circa 1570. 280x208 mm; 11 1/4x8 1/4 inches. First state (of 4). Eagle in a crowned circle watermark (Lewis 13, which he dates to paper manufacturers in Rome and Verona from circa 1575-1600). Trimmed on or just inside the plate mark. A very good impression of this scarce engraving with strong contrasts. Bartsch 62; Lewis 43.
