suspended from it, stands 1. behind her. A shield with S.P.Q.R. is in the
r. upper corner. The crown lies on the ground at her feet in the centre.
The border is single. The ground is marked by a single straight line.
The drapery is good, rather angular in the folds, without any hatc-hing.
There is no sky. Everything points to a rather early date, perhaps
1460-70.
[134 x 100.] The cut has been considerably damaged and repaired. Both the
lower corners are wanting. Colours : bright pink, dull yellow, light green, grey-
brown. Margin [4-13] uncoloured. A former possessor has scribbled on the surface of
the print, and various words are legible, “ JEcce,” “ Sancta,” “0 du liillige,” &c.
Pilgrim’s badges have been drawn on the hat, and over them, in a blacker ink, tlie date,
1520. On the lower margin is written in a large sixteenth century hand, Saneta
(jB)rig (id)a v’go egy (?).
Purchased from Mr. Cohn, 1890. The woodcut, when purchased, was pasted on an
old book cover.

side r. The ground is marked by a few horizontal lines. There is no
indication of sky, and scarcely any hatching.

as Schr. 1017 b, the Assumption of the Virgin, and 1485, the Mass of St. Gregory.
