Albrecht Dürer

Associated Names

Albrecht Dürer

Artist, German, 1471 - 1528

This is a drawing of a seated figure being confronted by others. The scene is depicted in a style reminiscent of medieval woodcuts, with strong black outlines and intricate details. The central figure appears serene with a halo around the head. Another figure stands on the left, mid-action, while a crowned figure on the right observes. The background shows a landscape with hills and a building or castle. Ornamental designs fill the top corners.
