Additional description from the museum's website (© Copyright - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

This painting and a Portrait of a Woman in Prayer (Kunsthaus, Zürich) originally formed the wings of a devotional triptych. The young, well-dressed sitter appears seemingly transfixed by the now-lost central image—perhaps of the Virgin and Child—to which he offers a silent prayer as he pauses on a bead of the rosary held in his hand. The man’s ring, bearing the coat of arms of the Dutch families of Six van Hillegom and Six van Oterleek, suggests that he came from the Low Countries. Cranach probably painted this portrait during his trip to the Netherlands in 1508.

For your Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print your work of art on the aluminium composite white-primed surface. The bright and white parts of the original artwork shimmer with a silky gloss, however without glare. The colors are luminous and bright in the highest definition, the details are very clear.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): The print on acrylic glass, which is often referred to as a an art print on plexiglass, makes the original work of art into home decoration and is a viable alternative to canvas or aluminium dibond prints. The acrylic glass protects your chosen art replica against light and external influences for many more years.
