The Promenade

Dürer's light touch with the graver is particularly in evidence in his early scene of courtly love, which doubles as a memento mori. The lovers-often termed The Ill-Fated Couple-remain fully absorbed and entirely oblivious to the agitated figure of Death wielding his iconic hourglass behind the tree. This fine impression of the Promenade was a duplicate sold from the distinguished engraving collection of the Graphische Sammlung in Munich.
