 After Cornelis Bos Netherlandish

Not on view

Three quarters of a candelabra grotesque, copied after a print published by Cornelis Bos around 1540. The design is characterized by an architectural structure which can be described as an hexagonal pavillion. Within it a female figure has been placed who holds on to meandering acanthus scrolls. The pavillion is supported by a foot to which to satyrs have been tied. On the verso a frame is visible characterized by a broad, dark outer rim and a fine line on the inside.
