Description
'A wild man brandishing an uprooted tree trunk', c1528. The style of this drawing, with its simplified outlines, is typical of a design for a glass painting. The figure is framed in pen and ink by elaborate classical architecture. The grey, brown and blue washes are used broadly to suggest the shadows. It was probably intended for a window in the meeting-place of the civic society Zur Hä ren ('Wild man' or literally, 'the hairy man'), which was based in the north part of the city of Basel. PD, 1895-9-15-992. Author: Hans Holbein the Younger. Location: British Museum, London, Great Britain.
