1523
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Letter E is a 1523 ink by Hans Lützelburger, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows two figures in a woodcut print. One person is kneeling, holding what looks like a scroll or book, while the other stands beside them, dressed in flowing robes. The scene is framed by a simple border, and the figures are drawn in sharp, clean lines with no shading. The print feels like a story—maybe about letters or learning. The standing figure seems to be presenting something to the kneeling one, who looks focused on the scroll. This is an example of a woodcut.
Hans Lützelburger (died June 1526), also known as Hans Franck, was a German blockcutter ("formschneider") for woodcuts, regarded as one of the finest of his day.
