Curator's comments: According to Schoch, this is assumed to be a work by Springinklee or Traut (kept here under Traut). It is a variation of the design by Dürer, O'Dell 395a (see BM1897,1231. 30 and 31). The woodblock is in the Albertina, Vienna. This impression was taken from the block in Vienna in 1781.
