Lot Essay

Presumably both drawings are designs for one wall decoration, as the compositions can be joined up. Comparable wall decorations are in the Theatremuseum, Amsterdam (F.W.S. Thiemen, De Drie Schrikgodinnen, Jacob de Wit (1696-1754) en Izaak de Moucheron (1667-1744), Openbaar Kunstbezit, 1969, pp.9-9a)
