Curator's comments: Watermark of a shield and letter R, surmounted with a crown: image attached. This perhaps formed the right hand of a print tryptich with St. Catherine on the left and the Virgin and Child on a grass embankment at centre. The Dürer monogram was added to the block in the second state. See Matthias Mende, 'Hans Baldung Grien. Das graphische Werk', Unterschneidheim 1978, no.13. For another impression, E,2.297.
