1546
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Bust of Emperor Trajan is a 1546 by Sebald Beham, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a man’s head wrapped in a laurel leaf crown. The leaves are detailed, curling around his face and neck. The man’s hair is short and wavy, and he has a calm expression. The laurel crown was often used to show victory or honor in ancient Rome. The artist signed it with the letters "HSB" and added the year 1546. Look up Renaissance to see how this style shaped art.
Sebald Beham (1500–1550) was a German painter and printmaker, mainly known for his very small engravings.
