Life of the Virgin: Rejection of Joachim's Sacrifice

Albrecht Dürer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white engraving of a scene with a crowd of people. The scene takes place indoors. There is a man sitting at a table with a cloth. A man stands across from him. The background shows a stone archway above. The room has curtains on either side. A candle burns on a ledge. There is a door or archway behind. The people wear old-fashioned clothes. Some wear hats. Some gesture with their hands. The style suggests it is from the 15th or 16th century.
