Man met een wapenrok bij een obelisk 1572 - 1589

Jonas Silber's "Man met een wapenrok bij een obelisk" is a 16th-century engraving depicting a figure in armor standing in a landscape. The man holds a staff in his right hand and is shown in front of a small obelisk, with a town and a tree in the background. The image is reminiscent of the genre of Mannerism, with its elongated figures and emphasis on detail, although Silber's early death at the age of 18 limits the number of works produced during his brief career. The engraving is quite small, only 67 mm by 45 mm, yet the detail within the scene is still visible, indicating Silber's skill as a printmaker.
