Saint Martin and the Beggar

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a gold-colored, circular object, possibly a medallion or plaque. The object is made of a shiny gold material and has a raised design on its surface. The design depicts a man on horseback. The man wears a tunic and a hat, and holds a sword in his right hand and a piece of cloth in his left. The horse stands on its hind legs. The man on the ground wears a tunic and holds out a small object. The background of the image is dark, with a gradient from black at the top to light gray at the bottom. A shadow is cast by the object onto the surface below it. The scene appears to represent "Saint Martin and the Beggar". The artwork is by the artist Albrecht Dürer.
