Christ on the Mount of Olives.

Engraving, after 1480. 163x113 mm; 6 1/2x4 1/2 inches. Ex-collection d'Arenberg (Lugt 567, verso) and unknown collector, ink stamp with the letter "P" (not in Lugt). Trimmed on the plate mark, with thread margins outside the black border line. A good impression of this extremely scarce, early print.

Based on the same-titled engraving by Martin Schongauer (Bartsch 9).

We have not found another impression at auction in the past 20 years. Bartsch 4.
