Model for medal of Goedart van den Wier

Provenance: Baron Anselm von Rothschild, Vienna, by 1866 (cat. no. 60).

Commentary: Read 1902 suggests that this may be one of the medals executed by Friedrich Hagenauer of Augsburg during his stay in Cologne, 1537-1546, but it is attributed to a Low German or Netherlandish woodcarver of 1542 in Habich 1929-34.
