Perspectival Drawing of a Cradle 1500 - 1546

This drawing by German artist Peter Flötner, dating from 1500-1546, depicts a cradle in meticulous detail, showcasing the artist's mastery of perspective. The cradle is drawn with precision, its intricate carvings and the play of light and shadow evident even in this small format. The work is a testament to the artistic and craftsmanship values of the Renaissance period, and is a fascinating example of the functional objects that were considered worthy of artistic representation. This drawing is now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
