This etching shows an older man with a long beard and hat, holding a small object in his hands. Behind him, a town with houses and a church sits on a riverbank. His clothes are detailed with patterns, and a curtain frames his face. The text below names him as a mayor, and the date 1554 is carved in. The artist used sharp lines to show light and shadow on his face and clothes. Look up Hanns Lautensack next to see more of his work.
