Small engraving of a man sleeping on the ground beside a basket, with a sheep at left, trees and a towered town in the background.

Sleeping Man

A sleeping man lies sprawled on the ground in the foreground, his head resting on his arm beside a wicker basket, while a sheep stands at the left edge. Behind him, a tree and a towered town fill a distant landscape, all rendered in fine, dense engraved lines, with the date 1523 inscribed along the bottom.
