Lot Essay

The present relief is a fine example of South German carving of the early 16th Century, although much of the detail on the faces and figures is obscured by the later paint. The style shows the influence of leading South German sculptors of the time such as Hans Thoman (cf. Zimmermann, op.cit.).
