| Descripción Histórica: | |
This dramatic scene, intricately conveyed through the use of delicate, detailed lines, depicts the moment of the Virgin's death. A throng of people surround the Virgin as she holds a flickering candle. They kneel in prayer and lean towards Mary, intent on taking in her last few moments on earth. The figure in the lower right reads from a book, perhaps speaking a prayer that the others follow. Drapery abounds throughout the composition in stiff, deep folds, surrounding the Virgin and nearly hiding her tiny form. She rests in the center of the composition as the main subject of this scene and appears unafraid and at peace as she prepares to ascend to heaven. This original engraving is monogrammed in the plate 'Israel V.M.' in the lower center. Printed on a fine laid paper with the Fleur-De-Lis with a Crown Above watermark, dating this piece to 1497 (Likhachev no. 1266, plate 136). A lifetime impression.
