Description
Hervorragender, schwarzer und überaus kontrastreicher Druck, in allen Strichlagen deutlich zeichnend. Auf die Plattenkante geschnitten.
Das beliebte Motiv der Gottesmutter in inniger Zuneigung zum Kind, vor dem Hintergrund einer nächtlichen Landschaft, war schon zu Lebzeiten Dürers sehr gesucht und beeinflusste aufgrund seiner monumentalen Schlichtheit besonders die italienischen Künstler. – Vereinzelt winzige Braunfleckchen, ansonsten in sehr guter Erhaltung.
