One of ten copies of a mosaic wall decoration. Bavarian brass caster, sculptor and draftsman Peter Vischer (the younger, 1487–1528) is depicted here in working attire, looking into the distance with a hammer in his right hand and a chisel in his left. On his belt there is a pocket of tools, and he wears a skullcap with the Star of David on the front. The inscription at the bottom reads: 'Peter Vischer Nuremberg Sculptor Modeller'.
