Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The Anhaltische Gemäldegalerie in Dessau holds a series of paintings of the five senses, consisting of female half-length figures with oval heads and relatively wide necks, generously displaying their charms. Another version of the Dessau "Allegory of sight" is in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. The picture obviously belongs to a further version of the series, this time on panel (the Dessau paintings are on canvas), with approximately the same dimensions. The four remaining senses in this series are in the collection of the municipal museums at Bamberg.
