Brief met twee ontwerpen voor allegorische vignetten Possibly 1776

This work, "Brief met twee ontwerpen voor allegorische vignetten," was created by Johannes de Bosch in 1776. The drawing shows two sketches for allegorical vignettes, presumably meant for a larger work, perhaps a book illustration. The vignettes depict religious symbols like the sun, a star, a cross, an anchor, and a burning heart, each representing concepts like faith, hope, and love. The drawings are part of a letter from de Bosch to B.C. van Calker, suggesting a collaborative project or a commission. The sketches are executed in a delicate, precise line, typical of de Bosch's style.
