Very excellent, clear and vigorous impression of state Meder 212 h (of i), c. 1580. With the cracks through the plants on the left, through the left and middle hare (hind legs), the head of the right angel and the five wormholes in the wall roofing. Some of the chipping in the margins carefully repaired with black ink. The margins somewhat browned and slightly stained outside the depiction, with a horizontal central crease faintly visible, but otherwise in very good condition.
