Pair of Lovers in a Landscape

Albrecht Altdorfer, 1511

The image shows two figures sitting closely together on the ground. They are depicted from head to toe, with their heads tilted toward each other. The person on the left has a robust build and faces the other figure. Both wear period-style clothing with intricate patterns and puffed sleeves. They have headwear, with the person on the left wearing a large hat with a plume. The background consists of trees and shrubbery, rendered in a detailed style typical of woodcuts.
