Ain Man Schoss seinen nagsten ...

Master of the Miracles of Mariazell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed scene set in a dense forest. The horizon is not prominently visible as the scene is dominated by densely packed trees and foliage. In the center, two men are depicted: one crouching and looking around a tree, while another is aiming a crossbow. The artwork features intricate brushstrokes or line work capturing textures of trees, leaves, and clothing. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of brown and black to create a dramatic contrast between light and shadow. In the top right corner, a divine figure with a halo and a child appears amidst the clouds.
