Description du lot
Etching, 20,2 x 28,3 cm, laid paper, unsigned (trimmed within platemark, sl. soiled).
Under passe-partout.
A female allegorical depiction of Painting, seen in a studio while working a perspectival painting. The whole is captured within an elaborate ornamental cartouche with strapwork and obelisks, much in the manner of those designed by Hans Vredeman de Vries in Antwerp. In addition, the painting made by Pictura recalls perspectival views designed by the same master in his treatises on Perspective.
