Von Gottes genaden Ulrich Herzog zu Wirtenberg unnd Deggraf zu Mumpelgarten c.1545-67

Description

Woodcut with hand-colouring of Ulrich, Duke of Württemberg. Bust length with short hair, beard, plumed cap, shirt, chains, and with robes edged in fur. Scrolled shields bearing the coats of arms of the Duke are displayed at the top of the block on either side, with German inscription above and with publisher's address below, 'Gedruckt zu Nurnberg Durch Hans Adam'. The portrait is hand-coloured with purple, blue, and yellow paint, probably at the time of publication.

An exceedingly rare portrait, extremely close to Hans Brosamer's woodcut of the Duke (see RCIN 608457).
