Summary

edit
Description
English: Design for a Scabbard with the Judgement of Paris, Pyramus and Thisbe, and Venus and Cupid. Pen and ink, 28.1 × 6.9 cm, Kunstmuseum Basel. This design for a scabbard is in the loose style Holbein used early in the design process. It contains four images in ornamental frames. The classical myths illustrated all concern the power of love. Since it seems to take account of the reversal of sides, it may be a design for a print. It could also be a design for a goldsmith (Müller, 407).

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1543, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
