Hans Sebald Beham

The Mask by Hans Sebald Beham depicts a rectangular black-and-white engraving. The engraving features a man's face with a beard and mustache, wearing a hat. The face is surrounded by a wreath-like design made of leaves and vines. The man's mouth is open as if he is screaming or yelling. The background of the engraving consists of a floral pattern with leaves and vines. The artist's initials "HSB" are visible at the bottom center of the engraving. Numbers "15" and "43" are located at the bottom left and right corners respectively. The image is framed by a thin border. The overall style of the engraving is ornate and detailed.
