Albrecht Dürer's "Lower Portion of the Entryway to the Right Portal (Die Porten des Adels); and the Outer Right Sockel of the Central Portal, from the Arch of Honor" is a woodcut from 1515 that demonstrates the artist's mastery of linear perspective and detailed representation. This print is part of a series created for the triumphal arch erected for the entry of Emperor Maximilian I into Innsbruck. The print features an elaborate architectural setting with a figure in ornate clothing, capturing the grand scale and detail of the original structure. Dürer's skill in depicting architectural space, combined with his keen eye for ornamentation, makes this woodcut a compelling example of Renaissance art.
