The Raising of Lazarus.

Engraving, circa 1508. 285x203 mm; 11 1/4x8 inches. First state (of 2). Gothic letter P with a four leaf clover watermark. Trimmed on the plate mark, with the thin black border line preserved all around. A superb, richly-inked, unusually dark and early impression of this scarce, important engraving, with warm plate tone and no sign of wear, characteristic of the earliest impressions of this subject. Bartsch 42; Hollstein 42; Volbehr 39.
