Lot No. 25 #


Hans Holbein the Younger


(Augsburg 1497–1543 London) The Last Judgement, woodcut, a Latin text on the recto and on the reverse, three children with an armour on the reverse, 6.6 x 4.9 cm, unmounted, unframed, Passavent 39, (Sch)

Provenance: Friedrich Quiring (Lugt 1041c). A fine impression with a Latin text on the entire sheet and three children with an armour on the reverse (P. 59). The exact edition of the print is unknown but it was published in Lyon in 1547. The block is in an excellent condition with a double margin line and with only a few cracks in the outer line. Although it is assumed that Hans Lützelberger was responsible for the majority of the prints of the series, his date of death in 1526 makes one wonder who may have executed the present Last Judgement.
