About this work

This etching shows four people in a rough, outdoor scene. Two men in armor and hats stand with swords, while a woman in a loose dress points upward. Another man, half-naked with a laurel crown, leans on a spear. The ground is uneven with a few plants poking through. The names "Egidius Herbstmon" and "Simon Weinmon" are written above them, likely the characters’ names. The artist signed it with initials in the corner. Next, look up Hans Sebald Beham to see more of his sharp, detailed work.
