New York, 1977, pp. 166–67, 246–47, nos. 31–32, fig. 41 (The Disrobing of Christ), as by an anonymous imitator, "Hand A," from Engebrechtsz's workshop; ascribes to the same hand as a small Crucifixion (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam) and perhaps the Descent from the Cross, formerly in the Petri collection, Antwerp; observes similarities to Engebrechtsz's work of about 1505–10; notes that the dry surfaces, the flat, rather coarsely painted background, the heavy, simply arranged folds and the flabby appearance of the figures identify it as the work of a less able imitator.
