- Curator's comments
- This sheet is a reversed copy of a print that Paas has attributed to Gerhard Altzenbach (Paas 157; Harms IV.41). He suggests that Altzenbach's version was after a design by Johann Toussyn.
For another version of the same subject, a crude copy of Harms IV.41, see BM 1876,0510.517.
