Portrait de Jean-Frédéric le Magnanime (1503-1554), Cranach l'ancien, Lucas, XVIe siècle (L’examen dendrochronologique du support par le Dr Peter Klein (1983) a établi que l’arbre dont sont tirées les deux planches qui forment le panneau de l’INV. 1184 a été abattu en 1523, ce qui est compatible avec la date de 1531 portée sur le tableau.)
