Everyman

Johann Theodor de Bry after Pieter Bruegel the Elder

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene with oversized sacks and scattered objects. The environment is cluttered with bags marked with symbols, surrounded by items like musical instruments, tools, and manuscripts. In the background, there are tents and buildings. The foreground shows jumbled objects, including a chessboard and open books. The title "Amor habendi." and a Latin inscription below suggest a theme related to want or greed. The intricate linework and detailed rendering give the scene a sense of complexity and movement, highlighting the disorderly accumulation of items.
