Wilton album, folio 17h: A Woman Examining an Armillary Sphere
On folio 17 with nine other prints: 27.78.1(68-74 and 76-77)
For more information on the Wilton album see entry for 27.78.1(1-428).
The print is related to an etching of the same subject by Parmigianino (Bartsch XVI.14.15), while diverging from it in a number of details, most notably in the absence of a skull and the addition of lettering. Perhaps both prints were based on the same drawing. For another impression see The Metropolitan Museum of Art Mariette Album (folio 43)
