Christ Driving the Money Changers from the Temple.

Etching and drypoint, 1635. 138x170 mm; 5 1/2x6 3/4 inches, thread margins. Biörklund's first state (of 3); Usticke's first state (of 7); White and Boon's first state (of 2). Paschal Lamb watermark (Ash/Fletcher 29; see Hinterding, pages 327-30). A superb, dark impression with strong contrasts and with significant burr on Christ's robe and aura, in the cross-hatched area below the cow's head, on the robe and turban of the priest holding the staff and on the tiny heads of the onlookers at the window upper center, consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject. Bartsch 69; Biörklund 35-B; Hollstein (White and Boon) 69.
