Vertical panel with two pendant designs above a strapwork cartouche with the title. Each pendant is suspended from a small jewelled motif tied with a ribbon and is composed of a sea-monster ridden by a nude figure on a shell. Below, Neptune, with his trident in his right hand, stands on the cartouche. Plate 1 from a series of ten plates with pendant designs in the shape of sea monsters. The series, known as Designs for Pendants II, was engraved by Adriaen Collaert, after designs by his father, Jan Collaert I, who died in 1580. Jan Collaert I produced several series of pendant designs, including the prequel to this series, Designs for Pendants I. This print belongs to the first edition, published in Antwerp by Philips Galle in 1582.
