About this work

This etching shows three people in a rough, outdoor scene. One man is mid-stride, kicking up dirt, while another leans on a stick. The woman next to him holds a small bag. Their clothes look worn, and the ground is patchy with grass and rocks. The names *Jacob Hewmon* and *Laurencius Augstmon* are written above them, likely referencing a story or calendar series. The year *1546* is stamped in the corner, showing this was made over 500 years ago. Next, check out Hans Sebald Beham, the artist who made this sharp, detailed print.
