Two volumes : I Text and II Plates. First edition Volume I: Text. VII+248 pages with 174 watermarks. Volume II: Plates. With 18 colour plates and 481 black and white ills, bibliography, indexes (Orig.cloth with dustjackets. Two vols in slipcase. NEW) The Rijksmuseum's collection of seventeenth-century Dutch drawings is one of the finest in the world. These two volumes contain all the drawings by masters born between 1580 and 1600, and give a kaleidoscopic picture of the art of drawing in the Northern Netherlands in the first half of the seventeenth century. The drawings from this period display an unparallelled diversity of styles, subject matter and materials. Draughtsmen were in the forefront.
