About this work

This drawing shows a portrait of Michael Wolgemut in profile. The portrait is based on a painting by Albrecht Dürer, a famous artist. It's interesting because it was used to create a medal, and the original painting is now in a museum. To learn more about the method used to create the drawing's detailed lines, look at the technique: cross-hatching.
