Three Soldiers and a Dog n.d.

This small woodcut print by Sebald Beham depicts three soldiers and a dog. The scene is set in a simple outdoor setting with a few rocks in the foreground. The soldiers are all dressed in 16th-century military garb, with one soldier holding a halberd and another carrying a sword. The composition is simple, with the soldiers arranged in a row, and the dog standing at the feet of one of them. Beham was a prominent artist of the German Renaissance, and this print is a fine example of his work. The detail in the soldier’s armor and the dog’s fur is notable. The print's small size suggests it was likely created for personal use or for a small group of viewers.
