Lot Essay
Marcantonio's engraving of Saint Veronica is extremely rare, and to our knowledge, no other impression has been offered at auction within the last thirty years. The present impression seems finer than the impression in the Albertina (inventory no. DG1970/342), and neither the British Museum nor the Metropolitan Museum have an example in their holdings.
