Notes

Original painting in the Museo del Prado, Madrid. Pennington following Levey suggests that Hollar might have copied a copy, possibly by Richard Greenbury.

Entry from Giulia Bartrum, 'Dürer and his legacy', BM 2002, cat. 19, p. 90: 'This is based on Dürer's self-portrait of 1498 which is today in the Prado, Madrid (Anzelewsky 49). It is inscribed with two elegiac couplets by L. Lancelot, stating that if the portrait were able to show Dürer's genius and character as well as it shows his appearance, there would be no more famous portraitist in the world. Wenceslaus Hollar, the most prolific printmaker of his period and a refugee from his native Bohemia, spent many years years of his life in London in the service of Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel (1585 - 1646 ) the great connoisseur and patron of the arts. Together with its pendant, a portrait of the artist's father, Albrecht Dürer the Elder of 1497(London, National Gallery; Anzelewsky 48) Dürer's self-portrait had been presented in 1636 by the city of Nuremberg to King Charles I. through the Earl of Arundel. The Earl had stopped in the city that year, while leading an embassy to the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II in Vienna from the English king. 

  The inscription along the lower edge of Hollar's print indicates that it was made in Antwerp in 1645, after a painting in the collection of the Earl of Arundel.   Hollar has faithfully transcribed Dürer's monogram and the date on the window-sill and added Dürer's inscription along the lower edge beneath the sitter's sleeve,  in imitation of the artist's hand-writing: 'I made this after my image when I was twenty-six years old'.'

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
 Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
