Her brow is deeply lined, her cheeks hollow and her eyes wide and turned to one side, and the neck and collarbones are modelled in dark hatching, while the clothing below is only outlined. The date 1514 is lettered across the top of the sheet, and a hand-lettered note giving her age as 63 runs down the upper right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin describes the sheet as a memorial of comfort, drawn two months before the death of Dürer's gravely ill mother, who died on 16 May 1514 after a long decline. He draws her very close and from slightly above, so that the lined forehead, hollow eye and collarbones stand out, while the museum notes that the clothing is sketched far more quickly than the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: charcoal on paper, 1514; Kupferstichkabinett, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Berlin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlbrecht Dürer (1471–1528) was a German painter, printmaker and theorist of the Northern Renaissance, born in Nuremberg, the son of a goldsmith. He trained in the workshop of Michael Wolgemut and travelled twice to Italy, bringing Italian ideas of proportion and perspective north of the Alps. His woodcut series, above all the Apocalypse of 1498, and his engravings, among them Knight, Death and the Devil, Saint Jerome in His Study and Melencolia I, raised printmaking to the level of painting and circulated across Europe in his lifetime. He also made watercolours of plants and animals from close observation, painted portraits and altarpieces, and published treatises on measurement and human proportion. His prints are held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, the British Museum and the Albertina.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
