Albrecht Dürer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white engraving of a man in a hat and ornate clothing. The man has short, curved hair and wears a hat with a flat top and a rounded brim, a collared shirt with ruffles, and a cape or cloak over his shoulders. A coat of arms with a cross, a hat, and tassels is above and to the left of the man. The coat of arms consists of several sections with various symbols. There are lines of text in Latin above and below the man. The man's body faces right, but he looks forward. He appears to have a serious expression on his face. The background behind the man resembles a wall or other flat surface.
