Portrait of Barent van Orley 

Albrecht Dürer, one of the most important artists of the Northern Renaissance, created this striking portrait of Barent van Orley. Though the exact date of the artwork is unknown, the inscription on the top of the drawing suggests it was made around 1521. The artist's signature, "A.D.", appears in the top right corner. Dürer captures van Orley's likeness with meticulous detail, particularly in the rendering of his hair, clothing, and facial features. The subject is depicted in a three-quarter view with a serious expression. This work reflects Dürer's masterful technique in drawing and is a testament to his ability to portray human form and character.
