"Master of Ceremonies and Torchbearer, from The Wedding Dancers" is a woodcut print by Hans Schäufelein, created between 1500 and 1540. It depicts three figures in elaborate 16th-century dress, two men and a woman. The man on the left, holding a torch, appears to be leading the group in a dance or procession. The detailed rendering of clothing and accessories, including elaborate headwear and footwear, reflects the artist's interest in capturing the fashions of his time. The print is a study in both human anatomy and fashion, and serves as a vivid representation of the social and cultural trends of the German Renaissance.
