# Man of Sorrows, Seated [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DÜRER, Albrecht]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Etching, first state of three, 112 x 66 mm ## Commentary Early impressions of this etching are of the greatest rarity and of such purity that they look like a pen drawing. This is quite in contrast with the still somewhat laborious technique, reminiscent of burin work, of The Desperate Man. Dürer here exploits more fully the virtues of this medium. It is for these reasons that the Man of Sorrows is probably Dürer's second experimental etching, still without his monogram. This is Dürer's earliest etched plate. ## Related artworks - [A Young Girl of Cologne and Dürer's Wife]() - [Abduction of a Woman]() - [Abduction of Proserpine on a Unicorn]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam \(detail\)]() - [Adam]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
