Lucas van Leyden

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a scene with three men sitting on floor. The man in the center sits with hands clasped and wears a long-sleeved shirt and pants tucked into boots. The man on the right sits cross-legged, wearing a robe over a puffy-sleeved shirt and a hat; he wears boots. The man on the left sits with one leg tucked under the other, wearing a long robe and a hat. The background shows a stone floor, columns and an archway. Two oval images are on the walls, one shows a man carrying a tray with two birds on it, and the other a man carrying a sack on his back. The man on the left appears to be speaking to the man in the center. The background walls are made of stone blocks. The image is circularly framed. The print is black and white. The style is old European. The mood is serious. The artist's mark appears on the bottom.
