Drawing, Design for plate 66 [recto, below], ca. 1596-99
This is a Drawing. It was created by Jan van der Straet, called Stradanus. It is dated ca. 1596-99 and we acquired it in 1901. Its medium is recto: pen and brown ink, brush and black wash over black chalk on laid paper verso: pen and brown ink on paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
The verso inscription, apparently related to accounting, is partial and uninterpretable.
It is credited Museum purchase through gift of various donors.
Its dimensions are
H x W: 14.3 × 10.3 cm (5 5/8 × 4 1/16 in.)
It is inscribed
1901-39-151-b verso Inscription “…………… [17 dots] 70 montano [scudi] 38” Translation “…………… [17 dots] 70 come to 38 scudi”
