Albrecht Dürer was a multi-talented artist, whose range extended beyond the traditional mediums such as painting and drawing, and included engraving, writing, and theory.
At the bottom of the composition is Dürer’s monogram, which appears almost like a logo and signature, depicting the artist’s initials “A” and “D” as well as the date, “1502”, above it.
Dürer applied variations of brushstrokes, from short and choppy strokes around its face and ears, as well as long and curvy brushstrokes to depict the curls of the fur and tiny hairs.
