This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from "The Feast of the Rosary" painting by Albrecht Durer. In this particular section, we are presented with Durer's self-portrait, exuding an air of confidence and artistic prowess. With a distinguished beard and long blond hair flowing beneath a luxurious fur coat, he stands proudly in front of a majestic tree, holding a scroll in his hand. The scroll bears the inscription "Exegit Quinque Mestri Spatio Albertus Durer Germanus MDVI" revealing that this masterpiece was meticulously crafted by the renowned German artist within the span of five months in 1506. Surrounding him are playful putti placing crowns of roses on members of the congregation, adding an element of whimsy to this grand scene. Notably, on the lower left corner, we catch a glimpse of the Virgin Mary's hand delicately adorning the head of Maximilian I, who is designated as the German emperor at that time.
