Original – Portrait of a Man (1514) by Hans Baldung; this is an unknown sitter, but a wealthy man, possible a Swabian of noble origins, according to the National Gallery, London, who hold the piece. Baldung was contemporary with Albrecht Dürer, and was possibly trained by him.

Reason: Great scan of a striking 1514 portrait

Why the face? Because he's been exposed to Swabian humor, that's why. Sca (talk) 13:47, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support - There's something modern about the large, somewhat geometric areas of strong color, isn't there? I love this painting. I think the rich man who is posing is just tired of standing or sitting there. CorinneSD (talk) 00:07, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
