The Dream of the Doctor

Albrecht Dürer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black-and-white engraving of a scene. A shirtless man with long hair stands to the right. He looks to the left with his mouth slightly open. He stands on tiptoes with his left leg slightly bent. He holds a piece of fabric across his waist with his left hand. To the left, a man sits on a wooden bench. He faces right and leans forward on his left arm. His right wrist rests on his right knee. He wears a long robe and a cap. Behind him to the right, a third figure crouches and pushes a ball across the floor with a stick. The seated man and crouching figure are placed in front of rectangular frames on the left. A chest against a slanted roof is behind the standing man on the right. A wooden beam rises behind the chest. A dragon-like creature flies in the air on the upper right. A signature appears at the bottom center.
