The Quacksalver.

Etching, 1635. 74x36 mm; 3x1 1/2 inches, narrow margins. A superb, richly-inked impression with strong contrasts, crisp, partially inky plate edges and with the delicate horizontal scratches distinct, consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject.

According to Usticke, "A very scarce, desirable little print (RR-)." We have found only fewer than 15 impressions at auction over the past 30 years. Bartsch 129; Biörklund 35-G; Hollstein (White and Boon) 129; New Hollstein 145.
