EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Portrait of a Stranger" by Hans Leonard Schaufelein transports us back to the year 1516. The enigmatic male subject gazes off to the right, his face filled with an air of mystery and intrigue. What secrets lie behind those eyes? The artist's masterful use of chalk creates a softness in the lines, lending a sense of depth and dimension to this remarkable piece. It is fascinating to note that the year 1516 is hidden within the rough coated blue background, only revealed when covered. This clever technique adds an element of surprise and discovery for viewers. Hans Leonard Schaufelein, also known as Hans SchAaufelin, was part of the Upper German School during the Renaissance period.

This particular artwork comes from Handzeichnungen alter Meister aus der Albertina und anderen Sammlungen collection published by Joseph Schonbrunner and Dr. Joseph Meder. As we gaze upon this timeless image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are left pondering about who this stranger might have been - a nobleman or perhaps an ordinary citizen?
