專家說明

This chiaroscuro woodcut was published in 1591, alongside four others, during the collaboration in Siena between the printmaker and the painter Alessandro Casolani, leading to a genuine friendship between the two. For this meditative subject, exploring the themes of vanitas and memento mori, Andreani used five blocks for subtle tonal variation (previously miscounted due to the chromatic similarity of the inks) and two line blocks, in order to give a sharper and more prominent relief to the woman in the foreground. According to Gabbarelli (in J. Takahatake 2018), the best impressions are printed on paper with the watermark Eagle in a Circle, such as the present impression.
