| Beschrijving keerzijde | A three-quarter view of a rhinoceros rendered in high relief, faithfully adapted from Albrecht Dürer's iconic 1515 woodcut, depicting the animal facing right with its characteristic armour-like plated hide, pronounced dorsal horn, and textured skin rendered in intricate detail. A smaller secondary horn is visible on the back. The textured field evokes the hatched background of Dürer's original woodcut. Dürer's monogram 'AD' in Gothic lettering appears centrally at the base of the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Dürer's 1515 woodcut of a rhinoceros was made without the artist ever seeing the animal. The rhinoceros — a gift from the Sultan of Gujarat to King Manuel I of Portugal — arrived in Lisbon in May 1515, and Dürer worked entirely from a written description and a rough sketch sent by a merchant. The resulting image, anatomically wrong in several notable ways, became the dominant European depiction of the species for over two centuries, reproduced in natural history texts well into the 1700s.
