Beham, Hans Sebald (1500-1550)

The Little Buffoon: A Superb 19th Century Engraving

circa 1850, 1850. circa 1850. 1850. Very good. - sc - A superb reproduction of Hans Sebald Beham's 1542 engraving "The Little Buffoon" on 4-1/4 inch high by 6 inch wide watermarked paper. The 1- 7/8 inch high by 3-1/8 inch wide measurements of the engraving matches that of the original as do all other details. The image protrays a "fool" with donkey ears and bells on his helmet, carrying a noisemaker, his stool in a pile beneath him. The buffoon has, in two places, broken through the banderoles upon which is written the crude verse "On dir hab ich gerisen das ich mich hab beschisen" [I have written on you that I have beshit myself]. There are stains at the top corners from the remnant of glue from the mounting tape which once adhered to the verso. Else, a near fine strong engraving.

Born in Nuremberg Hans Sebald Beham (1500-1550) was one of the Northern Renaissance Little Masters, so called because of their eminence in producing small scale engravings such as "Ornament with Two Genii Riding on Two Chimeras". Although, as with his brother Barthel it can't be determined with any certainty, some believe he may have trained under Durer and produced his first engraving in 1518. Very good .
