Germany
A beautiful hand-coloured woodcut of 20.5 x 14 cm visible size within passepartout, framed behind glass in a wooden frame for an external size of 25.5 x 19.3 cm, depicting Christ on the cross surrounded by apostles and the two Marys, mixed with other biblical figures and knights.

Hans Leonhard Schäufelein/ Schäufelin (c. 1480–c. 1540) was a German artist, painter, and woodcut designer. He worked until 1503 as an assistant to Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528), whose work he influenced. Although he occasionally illustrated romances and even produced a deck of cards, Schäufelein is best known for his production of religious themes, including many woodcuts depicting the Crucifixion and its aftermath, including this one used as a title page illustration for Martin Luther's Biblia Germanica (1523).
Condition: Wrinkled, tears and folds in the paper, some loss of color, see photos for a more complete impression.
