(3 7/8 x 5 7/8 in), surface dirt and ink stains, browning, and light finger-soiling, framed and glazed. Provenance: Sir John Clement Witt [L.2228b]; Thence by descent ⁂ The mount of the present work bears a suggested attribution to Augustin Hirschvogel (1503-1553), but the studies appear to be after woodcuts by Hans Weiditz the Younger (ca. 1495-1537), or "The Petrarch Master".
