Title:	Dame mit dem Papagei (The Lady with the Parrot)
Engraver:	Burger, Johann (Burg, Switzerland, 1829 - Munich, Germany, 1912)
Designer:	Mieris, Frans van (Delft, 1635 - Leyden, 1681)
Publisher:	Vervielfaltigende Kunst, Vienna
Date:	1886
Medium:	Original Engraving
Note:	Johann Burger: Johann Burger was considered a master of genre scenes, portraits and studies of the nude. His particular and meticulous method of engraving emphasized both form and texture. In Dame mit dem Papagei, for example, his ability to translate the elements of light and shade and the actual texture of each fabric is remarkable.
	Frans van Mieris: A famous 17th century Dutch painter, Frans van Mieris studied under Gerard Dou and Abraham Tempel. Most esteemed for his genre paintings, Mieris was at his best in his representations of silks, satins and jewels. Raised in humble surroundings (he had twenty-two brothers and sisters), Frans van Mieris eventually became Painter to the Prince.
	Today his paintings will be found in such collections as the Louvre, the Hermitage, Buckingham Palace and the Uffizi. Dame mit dem Papagei is in the collection of the Pinakothek, Munich.
	Vervielfaltigende Kunst: During the late 19th early 20th centuries leading art journals around the world published original etchings, lithographs and woodcuts on a regular basis. Some of the greatest prints from this vital era were commissioned and published by The Studio, in London, Pan, in Germany, The Print Connoisseur, in America, and Vervielfaltigende Kunst, in Vienna.
	Vervielfaltigende Kunst issued it’s first original print in 1871. During the following sixty years it published masterworks by Austrian, German, Czech, Swiss, French, Dutch, Hungarian and English artists. More internationally focused and less conservative than most of its rival publishers, Vervielfaltigende Kunst became a spearhead for the vibrant experiments of Symbolist, Expressionist and Secessionist artists during the initial decades of the twentieth century. Also, its superb printing techniques were second to none. As a result, Vervielfaltigende Kunst is now regarded as a most vital fine art publisher of its day and individual prints from this publication are eagerly sought after on the international market
