Note du spécialiste

Schreiber records only one impression, at Sankt Peter in Salzburg, of this charming little print. He describes it as a rubbed woodcut and tentatively suggests a relation to the Master of the Housebook. The colouration of the Salzburg impression seems very similar to the one of the present example. According to Schreiber, the colouration is indicative of an Augsburg workshop .
