Description

Engraving, ca. 1600/1610, signed and dedicated - to Marquis Giovanni Piedimonte - in plate at lower right: "Dominico toschano f. DD".

Magnificent and very rare print dating from early 17th-century Sienese Mannerism. We have found no record of this Domenico Toscano or, for that matter, any other examples of this engraving. The composition is probably derived from a subject by Francesco Vanni (Siena, 1563-October 26, 1610).

Beautiful proof, rich in tone, impressed on contemporary laid paper, trimmed to copper or with very small margins, laid down on antique paper, in very good condition.

Collection mark on verso of A. Castagnari (Lugt 86).
