Darf man es sehen?

Der Eigentümer ist bekannt. Ob es heute ausgestellt ist, sagt das Museum nicht, und Raten haben wir nicht gelernt.
Around 1500, bronze casting was still in its infancy north of the Alps. While Italian bronze-casters crafted their modelli in wax and clay, Netherlandish and German sculptors still worked from carved wooden models. Their figures – like this pair (which comes from Stift Heilingenkreuz, a Cistercian abbey near Vienna) – thus look rather stiff.
