Männlicher Akt (Fragment) und zwei Blattornamente 

Jost Amman's "Männlicher Akt (Fragment) und zwei Blattornamente" is a study in pen and ink, showcasing his mastery of detail. The artwork, housed in the Städel Museum, features a partially obscured male figure, likely intended for another work, alongside two meticulously rendered leaf ornaments. The presence of these decorative elements suggests that Amman's drawing was likely a preliminary study for a larger composition, possibly an architectural design or an illustration for a printed book, a common practice of his time. The contrast between the delicate, expressive lines of the foliage and the more solid, shaded forms of the male figure underscores Amman's versatility as an artist.
