A work made of oil on panel.
Arm of Eve, by Albrecht Dürer, 1507
A work made of tempera on panel, transferred to canvas.
Dead Blue Roller, by Hans Hoffmann, 1583
This painting shows an upper-body portrait of a man in a three-quarter view, turned to the left. He has a prominent double chin, a slightly furrowed brow, thin lips, and a serious expression. He has pale yellow skin and short, dark hair, and he wears a large, red hat. He is clad in silver armor with red straps on his shoulder and chest. The background is a simple, dark green color.
Outdoors, distinct groupings of adult men and women, some with halos, gather near a building. The front-facing wall of the building is not depicted, allowing for a view inside, where a woman sits in bed with two women nearby and two other women dress a baby. A bearded man sits near the bed.
The Holy Family with Saint Elizabeth, by Jacopo de' Barbari, c. 1503
A work made of black chalk on laid paper, laid down on tan laid pulp board.
