This print by German Renaissance artist Sebald Beham depicts a scene with a wealthy gentleman in a long robe, a servant carrying a sack, and another holding a large pot. The figures are shown within a circular frame adorned with decorative foliage. The inscription "HSB" at the bottom indicates the artist's monogram. The scene, often interpreted as a parable about social hierarchy, uses the intricate lines and shading of the engraving technique to evoke a sense of depth and realism.
