Gantz Neue Infensiones Von Unterschiedlichen Kleinigkeiten
Print from a series of six (incomplete) with designs for various small objects related to goldsmith's work. The print shows five designs. On the outer left and outer right a design for a knife handle has been placed. On the left side there are also two decorative strips that can be used to decorate the sides of watch cases, for example. The fifth design shows an idea for the decoration of a lid, possibly for a tobacco box, with a variant for the decorative frame. Surrounding the lid are six natural renderings of insects.
