Anton Möller the Elder
German, Königsberg, 1563/65–1611, Danzig [Gdansk]
Anton Möller the Elder, a German draftsman active in Danzig during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, belongs to the late Renaissance current that carried northern European figure drawing toward increasingly fluid, expressive line work. His surviving sheets are dominated by pen and black ink, a medium that suited the swift, linear handling visible in his studies of draped bodies and biblical narrative. This archive holds a single sheet from his hand, dated 1582, bearing Joachim and the Angel on the recto and three loosely draped figures on the verso; the given range runs only to that year, so no later impressions are recorded here.
