About this work

This black-and-white drawing shows a group of people in a room with tall windows and patterned glass. The man on the left, dressed in fine robes, points toward a door while others stand close, listening. The man on the right wears a heavy fur coat and a crown, looking away. The walls have wooden beams, and the floor is stone, with a few scattered objects on the ground. The pointing gesture suggests someone is being shown out—or maybe explaining something. The crown hints at power, but the scene feels tense, like a quiet argument or a formal punishment. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Hans Burgkmair (German, 1473–1531).
