ABOUT PRODUCTID 15404
This 19th-century copperplate engraving, after Albrecht Dürer’s iconic ‘Young Hare,’ exemplifies the elegant naturalistic tradition associated with the Renaissance Revival. Rendered on warm cream-toned paper, the print displays subtle gradations of black and grey, achieved through expert hatching and cross-hatching that closely traces the animal’s anatomy. The matte finish and visible impression of the copperplate convey craftsmanship and authenticity, while the print’s mounting on plain cardboard, with minimal margins and a pencil inscription below the image, underscores its period character. The surface shows expected gentle aging—minor smudges, foxing, and subtle discoloration—yet remains in very good original condition, with wear limited to the passage of time.
The delicacy of the linework evokes the German fascination with nature and detail typical for the 19th-century atelier, recalling the Renaissance’s reverence for the visible world. The hare appears poised as if suspended between light and shadow; every stroke testifies to a quiet pursuit of beauty rooted in tradition. The soft yellowing of the paper, like the patina on an antique, firmly anchors the graphic in its era—subtle but unmistakably authentic.
This engraving lends itself to display in both a classically-furnished living room and a contemporary collector’s study, harmonising with other Renaissance or botanical prints. It can be paired with a minimalist wooden or glass frame and works well alongside warm accent lighting to reveal the tactile quality of the paper and the precise rhythm of the hatching. Such presentation enhances the print’s narrative presence, offering a refined historical context to any curated interior.
