Lot description
[Spanish Netherlands, ca. 1575-1600]
Drawing, 1 f., 15,2 x 10,5 cm, on paper (mounted on old laid paper, with an 18th-c. biographical ms. note).
In good condition.
The drawing presents an oval flowery frame surrounding a noble lady (wife of H. Sovius?) carrying the crest and coat of arms of H. Sovius, who was the "conseiller procureur général de Brabant". The frame above a cartouche with the gilt device “SOVFFRANCE” on a blue background. Very fine drawing.
