Scrapbook with Twenty (20) Designs for Costumes for Fetes

ca. 1620–56

Not on view

Modern scrapbook with 20 designs for costumes and headdresses for men and horses. 19 were together before in an older scrapbook which seems to have been compiled in a workshop. Some of the drawings are signed by Baccio del Bianco. It is unclear if the album comes from his workshop or if his drawings were added to a scrapbook compiled by a different artist.
