The depiction of St. Martin with the beggar is in almost identical form taken from the grave (number: 1404) of Martin Peller. see: Epitaph of Martin Peller (d. 1629) and wife Maria Viatis (d. 1641) It is reasonable to assume that a wooden model (?) of the Peller epitaph was still available for the design. This in turn would speak in favor of the execution by Johann Wurzelbauer. See Peter Zahn: The St. Johannis, St. Rochus and Wöhrd cemeteries in Nuremberg (1609 to 1650), Wiesbaden 2013, pp. 596-597, No. 4415 with attribution to Johann Wurzelbauer. The merchant Martin Jahn (Jan), who died on April 18, 1648, purchased the gravesite with his wife Maria (d. January 16, 1655) on September 20, 1645. According to the inscription on a copperplate portrait of Böner, Martin Jahn came from Halle. He was appointed to the Greater Council from 1634 to 1648. As early as November 23, 1628, Martin Jahn and his wife had acquired another grave site in the Johannisfriedhof (Johannis 1699), which was also provided with an epitaph (which no longer exists), see Zahn, p. 460, no. 4107.

The depiction of St. Martin with the beggar is in almost identical form taken from the grave (number: 1404) of Martin Peller. see: Epitaph of Martin Peller (d. 1629) and wife Maria Viatis (d. 1641) It is reasonable to assume that a wooden model (?) of the Peller epitaph was still available for the design. This in turn would speak in favor of the execution by Johann Wurzelbauer. See Peter Zahn: The St. Johannis, St. Rochus and Wöhrd cemeteries in Nuremberg (1609 to 1650), Wiesbaden 2013, pp. 596-597, No. 4415 with attribution to Johann Wurzelbauer. The merchant Martin Jahn (Jan), who died on April 18, 1648, purchased the gravesite with his wife Maria (d. January 16, 1655) on September 20, 1645. According to the inscription on a copperplate portrait of Böner, Martin Jahn came from Halle. He was appointed to the Greater Council from 1634 to 1648. As early as November 23, 1628, Martin Jahn and his wife had acquired another grave site in the Johannisfriedhof (Johannis 1699), which was also provided with an epitaph (which no longer exists), see Zahn, p. 460, no. 4107. Martin Jahn ended up living next to the elegant Gasthof zur goldenen Gans, which was located on the property at Winklerstrasse 15 (pre-war numbering).
