AFTER ALBRECHT DÜRER (NUREMBERG 1471-1528)

This sheet, previously in the prestigious Von Lanna and Oppenheimer collections, corresponds closely to a sheet, of equally impressive dimensions, in the so-called Ambras Album owned by the Kunsthistorisches Museum (Strauss, op. cit., no. 1518/7, ill.). It is considered the neat and coloured replica of a pen drawing at the Albertina (inv. 4850; see Strauss, op. cit., no. 1518/6, ill.), itself part of a series of designs depicting horsemen wearing trophies of several nations (Strauss, op. cit., nos. 1518/2-1518/8, ill.).
