ALBERT DURER.
[chap. viii.
which was left on the surface of the metal by the action of the dry
point; but which, after a few impressions, gradually wore away;
soon leaving the plate in the situation of furnishing only very weak
impressions. The appearance of a first impression of the last de-
scribed piece has been attempted in the annexed copy.
100. Christ seated and crowned with thorns with, upon his lap,
a scourge. It is without the monogram of Durer, but bears, near
the margin at bottom, the date 1515. This piece and the following-
are executed by means of etching, an art of which Albert is, by
some, thought to have been the inventor, h. 4, 3-8ths : w. 2, 5-8ths
(Bartsch, 22.)
101. Christ praying in the Garden. Behind, on the left, are the
three disciples asleep ; and in the distance is seen the mob, coming
to take Jesus. The mark of Albert, surmounted by the date 1515,
is at bottom, h. 8, 5-8ths : w. 6, l-8th. (Bartscb, 19.)
102. An Angel, flying in the Air, and holding the Sudarium, with,
below, at a greater distance from the eye, four other Angels, bearing the
Instruments of the Passion. Upon a tablet, on the right, is the mark
of the artist, surmounted by the date 1516. h. 7, l-4th : w. 5, l-8th.
(Bartsch, 26.)
103. A Man, mounted on an Unicorn, forcibly carrying of a naked
Woman. The mark of Albert, surmounted by the date 1516, is in
the sky. h. 12, l-4th : w. 8, 3-8ths. (Bartsch, 72.)
104. A Landscape, wherein is introduced a large Cannon. The
mark of the artist, with, over it, the date 1518, is in the upper
corner of the print, on the left. Bartsch erroneously states the date
to be 1516. w. 12, 1-half: h. 8, 1-half. (Bartsch, 99.)
105. A Study of naked Figures. On the right is a naked female,
sleeping; and in the middle is a man, also naked, who kneels with
one knee on the ground, and raises both his hands to his head:
behind the last mentioned figure is a man holding a tankard ; and
on the left are a bust of a man, in profile, and a head. This print
has neither mark nor date. h. 7, 3-8ths: w. 5, 3-8ths. (Bartsch, 70.)
