Hans Burgkmair I

National Gallery of Art

Two figures are depicted in the foreground. The first person, a bearded man, is seated facing right wearing a long robe. He has a beard, thinning hair, and a prominent nose. A woman stands beside him wearing an elaborate gown and an ornate headdress. She leans toward the man with her hands on his shoulders. A female figure, resembling a statue, stands on a pedestal to the right, looking towards the pair. The background shows architectural elements like an archway and brick patterns.
