Jacopo de' Barbari

The image depicts a nude male figure standing on a curved, lined surface in a dynamic pose. The man is aiming a bow with one foot forward and the other slightly lifted. He has long hair, one arm extended forward, and the other pulling back the bowstring with an arrow near his cheek. The figure wears a quiver of arrows on his back. In the background, there are linear rays, an intricate symbol near his head, and various incised lines.
