# Drawing for the Façade Paintings in the Eisengasse \(copy\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [HOLBEIN, Hans the Younger]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Pen and black and brown ink, washed and watercolour, 570 x 338 mm ## Commentary This early copy of the mural on the "Zum Tanz" house is though to give an accurate and detailed rendering of the Eisengasse façade. The real architecture had a fantastic, illusionary architecture superimposed upon it. Only the freely drawn vertical lines in the otherwise empty areas, and the pointed arches on the ground floor, indicate the presence of doors and windows in the real building. The bucket on the frieze right at the top indicates that building work is still under way on the fictional building. ## Related artworks - [Adam and Eve]() - [Apollo and the Muses on Parnassus]() - [Charitas]() - [Charles Brandon]() - [Christ as the True Light]() - [Christina of Denmark, Ducchess of Milan \(detail\)]() - [Christina of Denmark, Ducchess of Milan]() - [Courtier of Henry VIII and his Wife]() - [Darmstadt Madonna \(detail\)]() - [Darmstadt Madonna \(detail\)]() - [Darmstadt Madonna \(detail\)]() - [Darmstadt Madonna \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
