Numbered in the upper margin. 2. Red chalk and pen in brown and black on handmade paper. Circa 1730. 19.5 x 16.5 cm. Inscribed in pencil: “Ec. Hollandaise.” Each sheet mounted individually on backing board under a mat. Satirical puzzle picture that, when rotated 90° at a time, reveals the heads of a young woman, a sheep, an old man with ram’s horns, and another man, each accompanied by a numbered Dutch couplet in which the woman mocks her husbands. The drawing reproduces the composition of the copperplate engraving exactly, but differs in the numbering of the verses and the wording. A rare combination of the print and a drawn version of the same motif. - Paper in each case aged and browned, partly stained or with occasional foxing; margins irregular with small tears and slight creases; the drawing also has a watermark. Overall in very good condition; the drawing is finely detailed; the excellent print is crisp and high in contrast. 2 sheets. Puzzle picture (Keerprent): The Four Times Married Woman. 1.
