MARTIN WEIGEL
The Wedding at Cana.

Woodcut on 4 joined sheets of cream laid paper, 1566. 435x675 mm; 17 1/8x26 1/2 inches, narrow to thread margins outside the thick black border line. Crowned double-headed eagle with the initials IM watermark (Meder dates similar watermarks from the late 1500s into the early 1600s). A good, dark impression of this extremely scarce, large print.

Though the monogram on this woodcut differs from Weigel's customary signature, Strauss and others attribute the work to Weigel. Strauss 21.
