HENDRICK GOLTZIUS
Pietà.

Engraving, 1596. 180x130 mm; 7 1/8x5 1/8 inches, thread margins. Second state (of 2). Ex-collection the Cleveland Museum of Art (Lugt 449c, verso). A superb, richly-inked and early impression of this very scarce engraving, with strong contrasts and no sign of wear, consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject. Bartsch 41; Hollstein 50.
