The artwork “Portrait of a twenty four men and a view of St. Michael in Antwerp” is a pen drawing by Albrecht Dürer, created between 1520 and 1521 during the Northern Renaissance. It is classified as a portrait and is currently housed at the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France. However, the description provided does not match the image shown, as the image illustrates a single figure, not twenty-four men, along with a cityscape.
In the image provided, a young individual is prominently featured in the foreground with detail rendered in fine lines. The subject wears a hat and garments adorned with decorative patterns. The facial expression is serene with direct gaze towards the viewer. To the right of the figure, the artist has meticulously depicted a detailed view of a cityscape, which includes the recognizable spire of a church, identified as St. Michael’s in Antwerp. The drawing includes text annotations, likely references to the location or the subject. The penwork is delicate and precise, indicative of Dürer’s skill in rendering both portraiture and architectural elements.
