St. Anna (Portrait of Agnes Dürer) 1519

This 1519 portrait by Albrecht Dürer, titled "St. Anna (Portrait of Agnes Dürer)," is a striking example of the artist's mastery of detail and realism. Depicted as a young woman cloaked in a simple white robe, Agnes Dürer, likely the artist's sister, stares directly at the viewer with an intense gaze. Dürer's meticulous attention to the folds of her clothing, the intricate textures of her skin, and the subtle shading of her face creates a lifelike and intimate portrayal. This work showcases the artistic advancements of the Northern Renaissance and is housed at the Albertina in Vienna.
