Masquerade is a 1514 ink by German 16th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a group of people in Renaissance clothing, some wearing masks and holding swords. They're gathered in a room with a high ceiling, and there's a doorway on the right side. The colors are muted, with lots of browns and tans. In the background, there are more people watching from a balcony. The whole scene feels like a fancy party or celebration. If you're interested in more art from this time period, you might want to check out the Renaissance movement.
A German artist from the late 1500s drew lively scenes of knights clashing in parades and mock battles.
