Anonymous, German, 19th century
Anonymous, German, 19th century represents an unnamed practitioner of the German etching tradition, a period in which printmaking served both reproductive and original ends. The single sheet held here, an etching, belongs to that current and carries the title Entombment, a subject drawn from sacred narrative. Since no life dates are recorded and the Met gives no date for the sheet, the collection's chronological reach stays open, with impressions up to an unspecified point rather than a bounded span.
