The Raising of Lazarus.

Etching, circa 1630. 445x307 mm; 17 1/2x12 1/8 inches. Grapes with the name Colonbier watermark (Griffiths/Hartley 15-16, which they cite for this print). Trimmed on the plate mark 3 sides, the blank lower margin trimmed (as is the impression illustrated in Griffiths/Hartley), several expertly repaired tears, visible mainly on the verso. A very good impression of this extremely scarce print.

We have found only 5 other impressions at auction in the past 20 years. Griffiths/Hartley 16.
