Acceptance of the imperial homage by the Count of Sazenhofen on 8 February 1746
The procession moves towards the Teutsches Haus. Various carriages and military on foot and on horseback come towards it from the right. At the top centre, the medallion with the portrait of the emperor, which was specially minted for the homage, hangs from a garland. The cartouche on the left shows a part of the town hall with the act of homage, on the right a cartouche with the dedication of the publisher (Jacob Seitz, Nuremberg).
