HANS BALDUNG GRIEN Group of Seven Wild Horses.
Woodcut, 1534. 218x320 mm; 8 5/8x12 5/8 inches, thread margins. Paschal Lamb watermark (Briquet 56). Ex-collection Rudolf L. Mayer, ink stamp verso (not in Lugt); and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, duplicate (Lugt 1943, verso). A superb, well-inked impression of this extremely scarce woodcut with strong contrasts and little to no sign of wear, consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject. We have found only 4 other impressions at auction in the past 25 years. Bartsch 58; Hollstein 240; Mende 79.
