BARTHEL BEHAM Sleeping Child with Three Skulls.
BARTHEL BEHAM
Sleeping Child with Three Skulls.
Engraving, 1529. 43x60 mm; 1 3/4x2 1/2 inches. Trimmed on the platemark. A very good impression of this extremely scarce engraving.
This is more likely a memento mori image by Beham (1502-1540), representing the lifeless body of a child accompanied by three skulls, rather than that of a sleeping child. Bartsch 27; Pauli 35.
