MASTER OF THE AMSTERDAM CABINET. TWO LOVERS

Size of the original engraving, 6½ × 4⅛ inches
In the Ducal Collection, Coburg

In agreeable contrast is the dry-point of Two Lovers—a little masterpiece—one of his most charming designs. “The sweet shyness of the maiden, the tender glances of the lover and the soft pressure of their hands are rendered with an inimitable grace, and the work is altogether of such exceptional quality that we may count this delightful picture as one of the rarest gems of German engraving in the fifteenth century.”
