The characterful and slightly mournful expressions of the Apostles are closely comparable to the work of Tilman Riemenschneider, the master sculptor who worked extensively in Wrtzburg, See, for example, the faces of the Apostles from The Last Supper on the Altarpiece of the Holy Blood in St. Jacobskirche, Rothenburg, executed between 1499-1500 (J. Bier, op. cit., pls. 23A-J).
