- wall label: Hans Sch„ufelein was active in Albrecht D�rer's Nuremburg workshop from around 1503 until 1507, working alongside him as both a painter and a designer of woodcuts. Painted in 1504, this portrait of an unidentified 24-year-old man is Sch„ufelein's earliest dated work. In it, he ably emulates D�rer's distinctive portrait style. A false D�rer monogram was painted on the young man's shirt at a later date. The portrait probably commemorates the marriage of the sitter, who holds a sprig of eryngium, a spiny herb symbolic of success in love.
