Notes:
Attributed by H.P. Kraus to Johann Weiner. Acquired as Johann Weiner. A later collector appears to have read the inscription as Johannes Weiner and identified him with the painter and engraver Hans Weiner, who entered the workshop of Peter Candid in 1590.
Inscription:

Zurz?)"; on old mount at lower center in graphite, "Johann Weiner (Weinber) / Munchen ca. 1620+"; at center right, "9-7 x 14-2"; on fragment of old mount, "Weiner Johan" and "2."
