Hans Burgkmair I

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed engraving of a person seated in the center of an ornate frame. The individual is in a frontal position with a serious facial expression, featuring a strong jawline, prominent nose, high cheekbones, and wavy hair just below a cap. They are dressed in luxurious clothing with a fur-collared coat. The frame is adorned with pillars, cherub-like figures, scrolling foliage, and Latin inscriptions. Cherubs flank the bottom of the frame, and the background is filled with decorative elements.
