Excellent impression.
Some surface dirt. Verso some restored thin spots.
Remargined with Japanese paper.
This the last of Dürer's Madonnas.
The figure of the Madonna is filling the picture frame.
The mood is austere.
There is no movement.
The halo's are set against a darker surrounding.
It is a almost nocturnal view. |
