This woodcut by Hans Wechtlin I depicts Pyrgoteles, a renowned Greek gem engraver known for his work on coins and cameos. He is depicted nude, standing in a landscape, holding a stylus and a sign identifying him as Pyrgoteles. The engraving is characterized by fine lines and detailed rendering of the figure and the landscape. The artwork exemplifies Wechtlin's skills as a printmaker and his interest in classical antiquity. The print was likely created as a part of a series of portraits of famous artists.
