Engraving, circa 1495-1503. 161x110 mm; 6 1/2x4 1/2 inches. Trimmed on the plate mark. A very good impression of this extremely scarce, early engraving.
From a series of twelve engravings, Scenes of Everyday Life, van Meckenem created toward the end of his career. The artist's observations of late Gothic/early Renaissance interiors, furniture and household accoutrements in this series are unsurpassed in printed form during the late 15th century. Bartsch 183; Lehrs 509.
