HANS BURGKMAIR
(1473 Augsburg 1531)
Adam and Eve. Circa 1525.
Woodcut on laid paper mounted on eight sheets. Probably no watermark.
Monogrammed in the block on lower margin in the centre: HB. Below that with three line text in the block: Und got gesegnet Sy und sprach zu In Seient fruchtbar und meret Euch und erfüllet die erde...
95.9 x 66.3 cm. Framed.
A superb, deep black and even impression with margin around the border line. With smaller and larger tears in the margins and within the image, mostly closed. The individual sheets mounted alongside one another with overlapping margins, partly reinforced by mounting strip verso. Some restored worm holes in the margins. The paper somewhat wrinkled, lightly browned in parts. With traces of handling and ageing. Verso with traces of older mounts. Despite these issues, still in overall good condition and a very fine overall impression. Very rare.
