MARTIN SCHONGAUER The Adoration of the Magi.
Engraving, circa 1475. 254x168 mm; 10x6 5/8 inches, thread margins. First state (of 3), before the rework and the date. Bull's head watermark. Ex-collection Henri Verver (Lugt supplement 2491 bis, lower right recto). A brilliant, richly-inked impression of this extremely scarce print, with strong contrasts and little to no sign of wear.
We have found only 5 other impressions at auction in the past 25 years. Bartsch 6; Lehrs 6.
