From LinkedCulture
Around 1497, Albrecht Dürer pointed his engraving burin not at royalty or saints, but at three stocky peasants mid-conversation. The central figure wears a voluminous turban-like hat and rests his hand on a long sword, while the man to his right carries a wicker basket and wears spurs on his heels. Dürer's dense crosshatching gives every fold of rough cloth and every weathered face a sculptural weight that commands the same respect as any portrait of a prince.
