Albrecht Durer

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with long curly hair and a beard. He wears a dark hat with a feather, a white shirt with a high collar, and a draped cloak over his shoulders. His left hand rests on his chest, and behind him, a small sketch of a landscape hangs on the wall. The artist used fine lines to show the texture of his hair and clothes, making it look almost three-dimensional. The words around the edges are in Latin, likely describing the man or the artwork. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create detailed prints like this.
