Albrecht Durer
Painting: Portrait of a Young Man
1521 Charcoal drawing on paper, 378 x 211 mm British Museum, London One of the portraits drawn sweepingly with charcoal during the journey to the Netherlands is this portrait of a young man whose identity has not yet been established. The scene is tightly framed, the bust of the portrayed man is moved right into the foreground, causing the wide cap to be cut off by the edges of the picture. His fashionable hat shows off to advantage the character head with the broad cheek bones and sensuous lips, which are depicted with great precision and delicacy.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Portrait of a Young Man Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : portrait
