Swann Auction Galleries Offers Prints by Schongauer, Picasso, and Rembrandt in Upcoming Sale

A collection of Old Master through Modern prints will be available in the upcoming Swann Auction Galleries auction. Engravings by Martin Schongauer, more than 100 Rembrandt etchings, and works of Pablo Picasso will be on display. The Crucifixion, a Martin Schongauer engraving from circa 1480, is an exceedingly rare piece available in the sale. The engraving has narrow margins outside of the border. Inside of the border is a richly inked impression of the Biblical crucifixion scene with strong contrasts and no signs of wear. It has a gothic letter “P” with a flower watermark.

An etching of Rembrandt’s mother, by the artist, will also be offered. The artwork, dated circa 1628, shows three-quarters of the artist’s mother’s head and bust. Other notable artists with work in the auction include Albrecht Dürer, José Clemente Orozco, and Maurits C. Escher. Visit Swann Auction Galleries for the complete collection and to place a bid.
