Artist, German, active first third 16th century

The image depicts two figures, a man and a woman, seated beside each other within a circular frame. The woman's body is shown from the knees up and the man is shown from the waist up, leaning slightly forward. The woman has delicate facial features with a serene expression, and her hair is styled under a headdress. She is dressed in ornate clothing with elaborate patterns and a high collar, while the man wears a wide-brimmed hat and a fur-trimmed cloak over his shoulders. He holds a long staff or rod in his right hand and appears to have a short beard. The background features intricate designs resembling foliage and animals.
