## Artwork

- Artist: [CRANACH, Hans](<https://beta.wga.hu/artists/cranach-hans-r9c5beadff3b12a>)
- Date: 1501-1550
- Technique: Paper, 203 x 160 mm

## Commentary

Hans Cranach made himself the very sketchy drawing of a young man playing the lute. A sad occasion - possibly Hans Cranach&#39;s death - seems to have been the reason for the affirmation of friendship written by another hand in 1537 on the upper part of the folio.
