Bust of a Young Woman 1518

"Bust of a Young Woman" is an engraving by the German Renaissance artist Sebald Beham, created in 1518. The print features a detailed and realistic portrayal of a young woman’s head and shoulders, her gaze directed downwards. Beham's skillful use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of volume and texture, while the subtle lines on her face emphasize her youthful features. This engraving exemplifies the technical mastery and attention to detail that characterized Beham's work.
