Peter Flötner

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a gold-colored, rectangular plaque with a raised relief design. The plaque features two human figures in the foreground, a man on the left and a child on the right. The man wears a long robe with folds, has long hair and a beard, and appears to be leaning forward. The child stands facing the man with arms raised. In the background, there are trees, plants, and a brick wall with a building. The plaque has a flat border around the relief design, and there are visible seams where the border meets the relief. The relief design includes detailed textures and patterns on clothing, hair, and foliage. The plaque appears to be made of metal, likely bronze or brass, and has a dark background. The overall scene depicts a scene from a story or allegory with the title "Allegory of Jealousy?" by Peter Flötner.
