This anonymous woodcut from c. 1490 depicts Friedrich Count of Schaumberg, Bishop of Salzburg, holding a book and a crosier. The bishop is depicted in full regalia, wearing a mitre and a richly decorated cope. His coat of arms, featuring a black lion on a yellow field with red and white bars, is displayed below him. The artwork, likely intended for devotional purposes, utilizes a simple yet effective style common in German woodcut art of the late medieval period.
