A Beggar in a High Cap, Standing and Leaning on a Stick.

Etching, circa 1631. 164x122 mm; 6 1/2x5 inches, thread margins. Basel Crozier (?) watermark. A superb, well-inked and early impression of this very scarce etching, with uneven, inky plate edges, foul biting lower left and no sign of wear.

According to Usticke, "A very rare, large beggar plate" (RRR). Bartsch 162; Biörklund 31-1; Hollstein (White and Boon) 162.
