This small plate is not common, the National Gallery of Art in Washington has two examples, one of which is very worn and comes from the Kress collection (inv. 1957.14.164). Another one is in the Grass Museum in Leipzig (inv.1917.355). The small accident in the upper right border is visible on all known copies.
