( fl ?Frankfurt am Main, c. 1470–90). German engraver. The 45 prints attributed to this engraver, the majority signed with the monogram ?, include five copies after prints by Martin Schongauer and seven after prints by the Housebook Master. It is assumed that practically all the others are based on lost works by the latter. The subject-matter of these prints is almost exclusively secular and includes courtly lovers and satirical scenes with peasants. In style and content they are very close to the drypoints of the Housebook Master, although the images are more stereotyped and the manner of engraving is rather dry. Prints such as one with the coats of arms of the Rohrbach and Holzhausen families from Frankfurt (c. 1480) were probably designed by the monogrammist himself, and it can be assumed from this that he worked in Frankfurt am Main. The suggested identification with the Frankfurt goldsmith Bartholomeus Gobel, about whom nothing is known, requires further examination.
