Candelabra Grotesque with a Winged Female Term on a Pedestal

Anonymous, Italian, 16th century Italian
 After Cornelis Bos Netherlandish

Not on view

Candelabra grotesque, copied after a print published by Cornelis Bos around 1540. The design is characterized by a pedestal with stairs on either side, upon which a winged female term has been placed. She holds onto acanthus scrolls which meander towards the left and right side of the page. The term is flanked by sphinxes with wreaths of fruit on their heads. Aside from the decoration of the pedestal, the print has been copied in full.
