The Death of Regulus is a 1526 ink by Sebald Beham, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a man in the center, with his arms tied behind his back. He's standing in front of a large, ornate archway. The man is wearing a long, flowing robe, and his head is tilted back as if he's looking up at something. To the left and right of the man are two other figures, both of whom appear to be holding objects. The figure on the left is holding a sword, while the figure on the right is holding a shield. In the background, there's a cityscape with buildings and towers. The image is rendered in a detailed, realistic style, with intricate textures and shading. The overall effect is one of drama and tension, as if the scene is about to unfold into action. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to look into the Renaissance movement.
Sebald Beham (1500–1550) was a German painter and printmaker, mainly known for his very small engravings.
