The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translated German Wikipedia page has more) and collection (more under Subcategories).So far, 2 works, by this artist, have appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog.P.S.What I wrote about the Maury show yesterday is generally true; but its Wikipedia page says it isn’t solely devoted to paternity tests.When I retired, exactly 6 months before turning 58 in 2004, I needed something to fill my time, and I’ll admit to watching it more than a few times back then. The shows I watched were always about paternity, sometimes with the surprise You are not the father climax — as I recall, one poor girl had to experience that embarrassment on at least 3 different shows; amazing she kept coming back; perhaps it was her only income source.Anyway, I left the post just to see if someone would correct me (thereby admitting to watching the show).
Also in the altarpiece’s Creation of Eve scene click-to-enlarge image, and perhaps others. Maybe it was part of their creation so they wouldn’t have to explain the difference to their children. What can I say; the church accepted it.
It’s interesting that as old as this painting is, Eve fits the more modern concept of beauty (i.e., slender) than is usually seen in pre-twentieth century art.
I did not often see Maury, saw Springer quite a few and Wilkos as well (I watch too much TV). I had to enlarge this one because (like Linguist) I thought I saw something unexpected in a religious painting (looks more like some of my sketches- LOL!)

Looks like Eve just discovered she used poison oak instead of fig leaves…

It was too late for ’Same Day Service" at the cleaners and they needed fresh leaves for the going away party. Sorry about the poison ivy, Eve
