Repair of Loss

Albrecht Dürer Germany, 1471-1528
The Holy Family with Three Hares, 1498
woodcut
393 mm x 285 mm
Gift of John and Ann Talleur, 1991.0267 View full record What to Look for: The lower left corner of this print was destroyed but it has been repaired with an insert (a new piece of paper) on which the restorer has redrawn the missing lines of Dürer's woodcut. A careful examination shows these repaired lines to have been painted in with a very fine brush.
