## Commentary

The compositions of the Passion scenes in the house altarpiece made by Ludwig Schongauer, of which three double-sided panels survived, derive generally from Martin Schongauer&#39;s widely distributed engravings. However, they are not exact copies, and it is quite likely that Ludwig made freely adapted drawings after martin&#39;s engravings as a starting point for his own paintings. Eight such drawings are convincingly attributed to Ludwig, one of these is the present drawing.
