FROM A PRIVATE EUROPEAN COLLECTION LUCAS VAN LEYDEN
Triton and Siren in Tendrils.

Engraving, circa 1510. 55x112 mm; 2¼x4½ inches. A brilliant New Hollstein a impression. Ex-collecion unknown collector (Lugt 333, verso). Trimmed on the plate mark. A superb, dark and evenly printed impression.

According to Lugt, the unknown collector was likely English (not the Duke of Buccleuch, as he is sometimes erroneously identified) and his mark is seen "assez fréquente sur de belles estampes anciennes." Bartsch 169; Volbehr 165; New Hollstein 169.
