Impression of the 1st state (of 2) before the reworks in particular on the wall and the Child’s cheek. Meder distinguishes three issues for the first state impressions (a, b and c). He does not specify any clear difference between b and c impressions, and the scratches he notes on b impressions are the same as those on c impressions. The difference lies rather in the watermarks found by Meder, which he dates to around 1525 for b impressions and around 1560-1570 for c impressions. Our impression is intermediate between b and c: the scratch reported on the Virgin’s drapery is not visible and the one between the tower and the building is barely visible. The dating of the watermark to around 1550 confirms this b-c identification.
