Not a motif I have noticed anywhere else but in the albums (but see last). The gentleman appears to be plucking one of the flower-women, so — in the Huber album version — the lady inquires, Worumb diesze Rosen? Bin Ich doch viell reiffer [Why these roses? I am much riper]

from the album of Andreas Huber, dated entries 1587-1609. Stuttgart, Württembergische Landesbibliothek,
cod. don. 899, f.117r.
from the album of Philipp von Damm, dated entries 1577-99. Seibold collection [from Seibold 2021, vol.2]
from the album of Wolfgang Harsdorffer, dated 1595. Nurnberg, Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Bibliothek, Hs. 32900, f.160r. Warume disse blomenn bin ich doch reiffer

The illustration below is one of 6, executed in pen-&-ink and watercolour, spread over two sheets, whose subjects are described by the museum as Satirische Darstellungen zur Liebe und zum Ablaßhandel [satirical representations of love and the sale of indulgences] and dated 1586×1600. I suggest they were probably intended as models for album illustrations.

Nurnberg, GNM HB2012. 1586×1600
