I'd never seen that one before - it's remarkable!  :(o):

I think his most famous etching is the Praying Hands.

Not to forget the Rabbit  :).

Daß Dürers Familie aus Ungarn kam, war mir gar nicht bewußt, wieder was gelernt! Doch der Umzug nach Bayern stimmt nicht. Zu Dürers Zeit war Franken noch fränkisch und nicht bayrisch, das kam erst später zu Beginn des 19. Jdts unter Napoleon.

I wasn't aware of Dürer having Hungarian origins - a new piece of knowledge, thanks! But his family definitely hadn't emigrated to Bavaria. In Dürers days Franconia was still Franconian, its Bavarian occupation beeing a resut of Napoleon (19th century).

Bolingbroke:
What a coincidence, I opened mine yesterday.

It’s a very nice klicky, but I’m not convinced by the chainmail hair. Wouldn’t one of those poodle hair pieces used for british soldiers be more suitable? Do they exist in that colour?
