Lot description
Drawing, pen and black ink, watercolour, 60,5 x 49,5 cm, laid paper.
Fully mounted on strong paper.
Curious large drawing consisting of 28 small scenes and objects mostly concerning eating and drinking, starting with a caught fish and an exotic bird, ending with a pierrot as an innkeeper and a tavern with sign "Vry wyn" and date "1699". The pinholes suggest a story in images to be hung up in a tavern, a podium, a house or maybe a school? Possibly a game or a popular song.
Prov. Dr. Hofmeier, Stadtarzt (stamp at verso).
