This is a drawing of a man writing at a table within a grand architectural setting. The scene captures the interior of a vaulted passageway framed by columns and arches which leads to a distant landscape visible through an open archway. The man has a long beard and is writing or drawing on a tablet at a desk with writing instruments and a scroll. A hat hangs on the wall behind him and a lion rests on the floor nearby. Two birds perch on a ledge above. The detailed line work and shading contribute to the image's intricacy and depth.

Saint John

A stepped, ornately decorated structure made up of forty-four individual woodcuts and etchings printed with black ink on ivory-white paper fills this vertical composition. The structure has a tall central tower flanked by two shorter towers on each side. All three have an arched opening at the bottom. The outer towers are then flanked by three columns. Almost every inch of the structure is densely covered with architectural ornaments, coats of arms, Gothic text, and panels showing scenes with people in interiors or huge crowds in landscapes. Some scenes show soldiers engaged in battle, groups of kings and clergy, or individual men. Architectural ornament includes mythical creatures, gargoyles, saints, kings, and cherubs. The arched openings are tall and narrow, and have checkered floors. Words in elaborate Latin script appear inside the top of each of the three arches. Two ringed-tailed creatures resembling monkeys prowl outside the central arch. Two shallow steps lead down from the structure to five panels that line the base of the composition. Those five panels are filled with Gothic text. The date, "1515," appears at the base of the outermost column to each side.
