Eunuchus, from The Comedie of Terence, 19th century reprint 1485 - 1528

Albrecht Durer's 16th century woodcut print, *Eunuchus,* depicts two figures in a conversation. The scene is set in a landscape with a bridge in the distance, and a cityscape that likely references the artist's native Nuremberg. One of the men is dressed in elaborate clothing with a plume of feathers on his hat, while the other is dressed in a cloak. Durer's detailed engraving style is evident in the scene's depth and distinct lines that give the characters and surroundings a lifelike quality. The scene is from the *Comedie of Terence,* a Latin comedic play, and the print was part of an edition that aimed to bring this classical work to a wider audience. The print highlights Durer's skill as a printmaker and his interest in both the classical and contemporary worlds.
