Catalogue Note
Ce lansquenet est à rapprocher d'un modèle en bronze conservé au Germanisches Nationalmuseum de Nuremberg (inv. n° HG 4755).
La figure féminine, probablement postérieure, est quant à elle proche d'une statuette en bronze de la collection Linsky conservée au Metropolitan Museum of Arts de New-York (inv. n° 1982.60.120).
