Masquerade is a 1514 ink by German 16th Century, a Renaissance work, depicting Ice Skating, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a masked figure in the center of the painting, surrounded by intricate details. This work is interesting because of its unique blend of pen, brown ink, and watercolor on laid paper. The use of these materials creates a sense of depth and texture. To learn more about similar artworks, look up the technique of glazing, a method used to achieve subtle color transitions, often seen in works at the museum, but for now, check out the work of the artist: German 16th Century.
A German artist from the late 1500s drew lively scenes of knights clashing in parades and mock battles.
