About the piece

This masterful 17th-century copy after Albrecht Dürer depicts his father, Albrecht Dürer the Elder, at age 70. The subject is rendered with remarkable psychological depth, his weathered face framed by a simple black cap and a rich, fur-lined garment, set against a deep indigo background that emphasizes his quiet presence.
