The White King Learning to Enclose a Camp with Wagons, from Der Weisskunig 1514 - 1516

This woodcut by Hans Burgkmair, titled "The White King Learning to Enclose a Camp with Wagons," is part of a series of illustrations for a book on the history of the House of Austria, Der Weisskunig, published between 1514 and 1516. This particular woodcut depicts an episode in the life of a King, where the King is being instructed on the art of encircling a camp with a defensive wagon formation. The detailed composition, focused on the two mounted figures, is characteristic of the Burgkmair's style and is a fine example of the woodcut printing process, popular in the late 15th and 16th centuries.
