The drunken Silenus with putti ca. 1515-40 Anonymous, Italian, 16th century The print depicts the inebriated Silenus resting on the ground in the company of four putti who are also drinking wine, one seems to have collapsed. In the lower right hand corner is a false monogram of Albrecht Dürer in pen and ink. This was probably added in an attempt to assign the print to the German master. The technique of the print is not dissimilar to that of Marcantonio Raimondi and his circle working in Rome in the early years of the sixteenth century. It cannot however be entirely ruled out that this is the work of a German printmaker influenced by Italian subjects or maybe an engraver working in the north of Italy where northern engravings were so popular. Another impression of the print (2012.136.706) has the name 'Liefrinck' engraved in the lower right hand corner.
