Created: around 1782 Material, technology: wooden panel Size: 30 x 17.5 cm Description: A man with a short beard, possibly St Peter, clad in red attire and white cloak, holds an open book in his right and lifts his robe with his left. The stone at the bottom features the initials ha. The painter of the two apostle pictures can be identified as Joseph Hermann, who was known in 1777 as the imitator of old German painting, Holbein and Hans Baldung Grien. He did not copy them for forgery; he signed several of the pictures, such as these two. |  |
