Research History / Discussion

In 1974 D. Koepplin viewed the panel. According to his evaluation there are many factors, which do not support an attribution to the Cranach workshop e. g. the clouds in the sky and Mary Magdalene’s robe. However he did express his appreciation of the individual character of the work, which is not a weak imitation.
