Catalogue Note
This drawing belongs to a group of copies, dated 1628, after a lost series of drawings executed by Lindtmayer in 1572. The compositions all represent the flags of the various Cantons held by similar paired figures and with characteristic biblical scenes in the background. Thöne knew eight other drawings from the series; those for the Cantons of Lucerne, Fribourg, Unterwalden and Zürich appear to be lost. The glass panel based on the design for Schaffhausen is dated 1574 (fig. 1). See also lots 17 and 31.
