Did You Know?

Lucas van Leyden was both commercially successful and well respected in his own lifetime. Copies of his most popular prints were sold for decades after his death.
A horizontally oriented black ink engraving depicts several robed figures in an interior shaded with fine, hatched lines. On the right, a bearded elder sits on a bench while a central figure with a staff gestures toward him. In the foreground, a seated person points upward, and another stands by a pillar on the left. Through a background doorway, a figure appears beneath an arch decorated with two carved winged children.
