The Sacred Family, with a Landscape Background. 1721

Paul Troger

1698 Welsberg – 1762 Vienna

Etching. Sheet size: 24.6 x 18.6 cm. Nagler 9 (I von II). Aschenbrenner 286. Krapf, p. 409.

Excellent, strong and subtly shaded impression of the first state, before Winkler's address. A perfect example in terms of preservation and print quality, on a full sheet. As such very rare.

Bought by a university museum, Northern America.
