Twee ontwerpen van schrijfvoorbeelden: de bastaert en de Nederlandse staande letter 1605

This 1605 work by Dutch artist Jan van de Velde I is a pair of calligraphic studies on paper, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork showcases two different styles of Dutch script, one with a more informal "bastard" style and the other with a more formal "Dutch standing letter." This piece is a unique and intriguing look into the world of Dutch calligraphy and the artistic practices of the early 17th century. The artwork features a visual study of different letter forms and strokes that would be used in manuscripts and documents of the time.
