- Curator's comments
- Modern impression from the original plate at the Louvre.
There is the possibility of attributing the plate to "Master d" (cf. the register), but Schreiber thinks the plates may originate from a contemporary engraver (producer of Schr. Nos. 2335, 2406, 2509) or even the workshop of the Master with the arms of Cologne.
He further notes that the engraved date is a forgery.
