[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 9505867, member: 8267"]The size also corresponds to a common book format. I am wondering if it might have originally been included as a plate in a book about Durer, or any religious subject. Book illustrations are sometimes dressed up with faux plate marks. In other words, the image may or may not be an actual engraving. A catalogue raisonne (complete list) of Durer's prints does not show it among his works.
