Portrait of a Young Man with a Rosary

Hans Baldung was Dürer’s foremost assistant. His portraits are remarkable for their psychological insight. The device at the top of the portrait, a confrontation between a bird of prey and an owl, has been interpreted as representing the battle between good and evil.
