Johann Aventinus (Johann Turmair) is a 1554 ink by Hanns Lautensack, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait depicts a man sitting at a desk, writing in an open book. He wears a hat and a long-sleeved shirt with a high collar. The desk holds a quill pen, an inkwell, and the book. The man's face is serious, and he looks directly at the viewer. His right hand holds the quill, poised over the page.
