About this artwork
This work is the reverse side of a portrait, featuring a heraldic coat of arms topped with a helmet and a unicorn crest. It is painted in a decorative, symbolic style typical of 16th-century Germanic portraiture.
Did you know?
In 16th-century portraiture, it was common to decorate the reverse side of panel paintings with the subject's family coat of arms. The inclusion of the unicorn often symbolized purity, strength, or specific noble lineage associated with the sitter. Bernhard Strigel, who likely painted this, was a prominent German painter favored by Emperor Maximilian I.
