Albrecht DÜRER (1471-1528), Adam and Eve Copper plate engraving depicting Adam and Eve before the fall, the top pasted to backing paper, some light spotting particularly to the verso, a very small tear to the left hand margin, otherwise good to very good, no water marks present, with great clarity and strong contrasts, 25cm x 19cm, no date but paper suggests early 17th century. Being the only engraving that Durer signed in full, this work is considered a masterpiece, with Ruskin considering this to be Dürer's 'best plate in point of execution, and in that respect unrivalled'. A very good early plate.
