Well I finally got the image I was looking for. I e-mailed Sandrart.net and asked permission to access their site. They came through for me and I got a pic of the right-hand panel. I don't think I can post it here though because it is not in the public domain.

However, the detail is amazing. Lots of stuff I couldn't see on the 2 panel pic. Having studied it for a few, I think there is probably a lot of humour in it. Baccus stands by a barrel while a drunk lies asleep, resting against the barrel. I'm sure I can see Venus and Brittania. I'd bet good money that the characters were all known to Holbein in one way or another. There's one hell of a party on the second level.

So anyway, I'm off an running with this! See you later!

Thanks for your interest.
