Saint Christopher, Facing to the Left
Engraving, 1521, 118 x 75 mm., Bartsch 51; Meder 53 a (of d). A superb impression with plate tone (Meder a: "Mellow; intentionally not wiped clean...") on laid paper without visible watermark, with margins of at least 3 mm. outside the platemark all around; a hairline paper deformation or scratch through the face of the Saint. Of Dürer's two engravings of St. Christopher, this is the more poignant, as the Saint turns his head to gaze in wonderment at the child on his shoulders. The background is drawn as a night scene with light coming from the child's radiance and much less from the torch held by the figure in the right background.
