The Temptation of the Idler, engraving by Albrecht Dürer
A nude woman stands beside a seated, draped figure in a wooden interior, holding a cloth and gesturing toward a seated man. A small winged putto pushes a sphere near stacked boxes at lower left. The fine black engraved lines model the forms, skin and fabric on ivory paper.
