Getting started with the collection:
Two Tables
Pieter Hendricksz. Schut, 1655
This etching and the one next to it are the only two prints with designs for auricular stands published in the Netherlands. Van den Eeckhout, a painter who had trained with Rembrandt, both designed various objects with kwab ornament, and depicted them in his pictures. The tables are too massive to be literally translated into wood.
