Description
-
Vertical panel with a pendant design at center, with a standing female figure holding a branch to her right side, set in a strapwork frame. The figure is flanked by seated nude warriors who are surrounded by shields and armor. Plate 8 from a set of ten plates with pendant designs, with deities and strapwork backgrounds. The first edition of the series was published in Antwerp by Philips Galle in 1581 and exists in two states; two later editions – the first published by Theodoor Galle after 1600 and the second by Johannes Galle after 1636 – were also produced in Antwerp. Jan Collaert I produced several series of plates with pendant designs, a practice continued by his son, Adriaen Collaert.
