818 MARC ANTONIO RA1MONDI. [chap. ix.
357. A man seated asleep in a stove, and tempted in his dreams with
impure thoughts; copied, with the cypher of Durer, from No. 20 of
that artist's engravings on copper, in a contrary direction to the
original, h. 7, 1-half: w. 4, 3-4ths. (B. 651.)
358. A Gentleman and Lady walking together, and Death behind a
tree; a very excellent copy, with the mark of Durer, engraved, in
a contrary direction to the original, from No. 8 of that artist's en-
gravings on copper, h. 7, 3-4ths : w. 4, 7-8ths. (B. 652.)
359. Christ on the Cross, with the Madonna standing on the left, and
St. John on the right. The sky behind the figures is dark. This
fine print was doubtless engraved by Marc' Antonio, either from a
drawing of Albert, which that artist had sent as a present to Raffaele,
or from some picture which he had painted whilst at Venice, h. 10,
5-8ths: w. 6, 3-4ths. (B. 645.)
CONCLUSION.
I have now, with as much conciseness as possible, presented the
reader with a Catalogue of the works of Marc' Antonio Raimondi;
and with it I terminate my present labours. The inexperienced
amateur, who may be desirous of forming a collection of the engrav-
ings of that excellent artist, (many of them of very high price and
great rarity) will not, perhaps, find this Catalogue sufficiently minute
in its details, to enable him, upon all occasions, to distinguish between
the different states of impression in the same plate, or to guard him
against the possibility of being occasionally deceived by the im-
posing, and sometimes really excellent, copies, which exist of several
of them. This I could not do, without swelling my book, already
more bulky than I originally intended, to a much larger size ; and
perhaps the majority of my readers will be the less disposed to dis-
approve the line I have adopted, as the deficiency, here spoken of,
will be found in a great measure supplied in the fourteenth volume
of the ' Peintre Graveur;' a work to which I have constantly re-
ferred, and in which Mr. Bartsch has given a particular and diffused
