Hans Hoffmann (German, 1550-1591) Attributed: After Albrecht Durer (German 1471-1528), Stag Beetle. Watercolor on paper signed (with initials) and dated 1585 in sepia ink. Framed.

From the J.Paul Getty Museum: When veneration of the late Albrecht Dürer's art led to a flurry of activity copying his paintings, drawings, and prints in the late 1500s, Hans Hoffmann was the leading representative of the "Dürer Renaissance." ...He specialized in watercolor and bodycolor nature studies, many copied after or inspired by Dürer's works in a Nuremberg private collection. Hoffmann's nature studies have earned him consideration as one of Germany's first still-life painters. He often made several copies and different versions of a single drawing, signing one with his own monogram and another with Dürer's.
