CHRIST BEINGr STRIPPED OF HIS RAIMENT.

Schr. 365; W. u. Z. 18. W.—C 5.

Christ stands in the midst o£ three guards, one o£ whom is stripping
the robe off his arms ; another, who holds a halberd, is raising his 1. hand
to strike Christ on the head. A third stands r. holding a shaft ending
in a two-pronged fork in his r. hand, while his 1. hand rests on the hilt of
a sword. There are two tufts o£ grass in the foreground. There is no
indication of sky. Single border.

[129 X 91.] A rather late impression, slightly torn aud repaired, but on the whole
well preserved. Cut slightly within the border on r. side. Colours: crimson lake,
light brown, bright yellow, verdigris green.

Purchased at the Weigel sale, 1872. Formerly described as a metal-cut.

THE CRUCIFIXION, WITH THE YIRGIN AND ST. JOHN.

Schr. 395. W.—D 36.

Christ, with a iloriated nimbus, hangs centre, on a Tau cross, drawn
in perspective and veined, with I • N ■ R • I • on a scroll over his head.
His arms are extremely thin. The long loin-cloth floats in the air to r.
of the cross. The Yirgin stands 1. and raises her r. hand to wipe a tear
from her eyes with her veil. St. John stands r. in an awkward attitude,
with his large feet spread wide apart and both hands raised. His eyes
are bent towards Christ; his nimbus, like that of the Yirgin, has a single
rim. Near the foot of the cross lie a skull, a jawbone, and some other
bones. A road is seen leading from the distance and branching off behind
the cross. The sky is not indicated except in the colouring. Cross-
hatching is sparingly used. Single border.

[210 X 141.] On vellum. Fair impression, sligktly rubbed. Colours: gold,
vermilion, carmine, brown, yellow, yellowisk green, ultramarine blue. Margin [8]
vermilion. Tke border is already broken away in several places.

From tke William Russell collection. Purckased from Messrs. Colnagki, 1860.

Tke cut is doubtless from the canon of a missal, but tke edition has not been
identified.
