Associated Names

Lucas van Leyden

Artist, Netherlandish, 1489/1494 - 1533

The image is a circular illustration with multiple figures depicted. The scene shows several full-body depictions of men, with a group at the center engaged in an animated exchange. One character is being handled by others, and one individual is holding a staff and gesturing. Another man is seated on an ornate chair, dressed in robes and wearing a distinctive hat with a feather. Surrounding them are other figures engaged in various actions or gestures. The setting appears to be an interior space with ornate architectural details in the background. The scene is framed by a decorative border with floral designs and cherubic figures.
