German text within an extremely fine and detailed floral border commemorates the union of the couple pictured at the apex of the image and flanking either side of the artist?s self-portrait is an inscription reading, ?I, Simon Sachs, have written this without hand or feet.? Decorative text below likely dates the work. Gilt wooden frame, matted; sight 12 ? x 14 ??. Not examined out of frame. Provenance: the Shevlove collection, sold at auction July 27, 1983.
