DÜRER, Albrecht: Caspar Sturm

🖼 Caspar Sturm, 1520
Silverpoint
127 × 189 cm
Chantilly, France

Soft charcoal lines define a merchant's penetrating gaze and fur-trimmed coat, rendered with meticulous Northern Renaissance precision. Dürer's portrait captures Caspar Sturm's wealth and status during his 1520 Netherlands journey, exemplifying the artist's mastery of individual characterization through restrained, psychological intensity.
