About this work

This print shows two men in a close, quiet moment. One wears armor and holds a helmet, while the other leans in, looking up at him with soft, serious eyes. The lighting is dark except for their faces, making them stand out against the shadowy background. The armor and helmet suggest this scene might be about a knight or soldier. The print was made from an original painting by Giorgione, but this version was drawn and engraved by Anthony Cardon. Look up Cardon, Anthony to see more of his work.
