The Parable of the Wicked Husbandmen

Augustin Hirschvogel

National Gallery of Art

This is a black and white illustration of a vineyard with figures working and a building in the background. The outdoor scene shows rows of trellised vines. In the foreground, several figures are engaged in labor, with one figure lying on the ground. Additional figures are shown in the middle left. The background includes a cylindrical tower structure and smaller buildings. There is German text below the image. The artwork is detailed, with careful attention to the linear forms of the vines and the architectural features.
