Three Demons Holding a Knight (verso)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The artwork, titled "Three Demons Holding a Knight (verso)" by Albrecht Dürer, features a sketch on a piece of light brown paper. The sketch depicts three grotesque figures. The central figure appears to be a knight, held up by the three demons. The background of the sketch is minimal, with the focus on the figures in the center. The paper has a rough texture and several darker spots. A circular stamp is visible in the bottom-right corner of the paper. The image's edges are slightly worn and uneven. The overall appearance suggests an early draft or study.
