Drawing, Holy Family
This is a Drawing. It was created by Jan van der Straet, called Stradanus and published by Philips Galle and Theodor Galle and engraved by Cornelis Galle I. It is dated ca. 1580-1605 and we acquired it in 1947. Its medium is recto: pen and brown ink, brush and brown wash over black chalk on laid paper verso: pen and brown ink, brush and brown and black washes over black chalk on laid paper . It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
Binding Evidence: Twenty-one irregularly spaced stitching holes run along the right edge of the sheet when viewing the recto. Blank space along this same margin on both the recto and the verso suggests that the sheet was bound into a sketchbook when the drawings were made.
