Dürer, Albrecht (1471-1528) vs. Copy after. Pilate... Lot 3428

Dürer, Albrecht (1471-1528) vs. Copy after. Pilate washes his hands in innocence. Engraving on laid paper by Johann Ulrich Kraus (1655 Augsburg 1719). Pl. 8.2 x 6.5 cm. Partly with tiny margin around the subject. Illustr. B. 236, C 13. - "The artist copied Dürer's woodcut "Pilate Washing His Hands" designed about 1509, part of his "Little Passion" first published 1511, reduced and from the opposite side. As early as 1827, Heller published the assumption that this is not a direct copy after Dürer's woodcut, but rather after the copperplate engraving copy on the same page that Abraham von Waesberge (1602-1672) had published in The Hague (cf. Heller Dürer 1827 II.610 and I E 35ab of the Bamberg State Library)" (Dt. Digitale Bibl.). - Partly underl. Worm marks. R
