Click to view high resolution image Title: Konrad von Altstetten Creator: Description: Konrad von Altstetten reclines in his lover's lap. A rose bush sprouts from his loins--perhaps a playful reference to Tree of Jesse imagery--and he holds a chained falcon on his hand to show that his sexual aggression has been tamed. His heraldic devices occupy the upper portion of the image.
