About the piece

Created by Lucas Cranach the Elder around 1524, this striking portrait depicts a man believed to be Johann Feige. The work is a testament to the artist's mastery of the Northern Renaissance style, featuring exquisite detail in the sitter's features and the subtle, geometric patterns of his dark doublet, punctuated by two heraldic crests in the upper corners.
