Hans Sebald Beham (1500-1550). The two couples and the fool

Engraving, 32 x 53 mm. I state of 3, before the year was added.  Pauli 214,  Bartsch VIII.212.

Splendid, fresh and clear impression on laid paper. According to Pauli, only in this state can Beham's work be fully appreciated.

Trimmed example, with very narrow margins outside the platemark. In excellent condition except for a tiny flaw in the upper right corner.
