Verzamelalbum met 150 schetsen en tekeningen en drie prenten van figuurstudies van voorname meesters, waar onder enkele van Saftleven en Ostade c. 17th - 18th century

This 17th to 18th-century album, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases a collection of 150 sketches and drawings, as well as three prints of figure studies. The album provides a unique glimpse into the artistic practices of various artists, with notable contributions from masters such as Saftleven and Ostade. The volume's worn cover, with its marbled paper and faint traces of use, reflects the history of its numerous viewers and artists. This collection serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of drawing and its role in artistic development.
