Girl Making a Garland

by KULMBACH, Hans Süss von, Oil on poplar panel, 19 x 15 cm

This small double-sided panel bears a portrait of a man on one side and a depiction of a girl making a garland on the reverse. The identity of the young man is not known. Rather than a portrait, the girl on the reverse side is a female type, symbolizing a lover or perspective bride.

This is among the relatively few extant early sixteenth-century panels that join a portrait with an emblematic or allegorical subject on the verso.
