The reined execution, the fascinating scene and the unusually large format make this a milestone in the history of printmaking.

The anatomical accuracy, with particular focus on the musculature, is typical of the art of the Renaissance., The reined execution, the fascinating scene and the unusually large format make this a milestone in the history of printmaking.
