JOHANNES WIERICX (after Dürer)
Knight, Death and the Devil.

Engraving, 1564. 248x190 mm; 9 3/4x7 1/2 inches. Second state (of 5), before any address lower right. A very good, dark and richly--inked impression of this scarce engraving.

After the same-titled engraving by Dürer (Bartsch 98). The prodigious Wiericx (1549-circa 1618), from a family of Antwerp and Brussels printmakers, made this engraving at the young age of 15. Mauquoy-Hendrickx 1484.
