Notes

Summary of J. Rowlands 'Drawings by German Artists and Artists from German- speaking regions of Europe in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum: the Fifteenth Century, and the Sixteenth Century by Artists born before 1530', London, BM Press, 1993, no. 246:

This and Sl,5218.149 were conceived as companions. Their styles, heraldic additions and subjects suggest that they were done for the man kneeling before a prie-dieu pictured in the drawing in the Schlossmuseum, Weimar (Winkler, 'Dürer', iv, pl. 924), which is also on vellum and of a similar design and format. The same coat of arms as the Weimar drawing has been added to the present drawing by a hand other than Dürer's. It appears to be that of Lazarus Spengler (1479-1534), the town clerk of Nuremberg; although, as Dodgson pointed out, the tinctures have been reversed. There are weak sixteenth-century drawn copies, lacking inscriptions and coat of arms, of SL,5218.149 and SL,5218.150, on a single sheet, and a further copy of the present drawing, both in Erlangen, Universitätsbibliothek (Bock, Erlangen', p. 54, nos. 168-9).

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
