Pieter de Jode
1570-1634
Design for a Salver with the Story of Cupid and Psyche
Entire design: 11 11/16 x 15 1/2 inches (297 x 394 mm); central oval: 7 1/8 x 10 7/8 inches (182 x 279 mm); width of border: 2 1/4 inches (59 mm)
Pen and brown ink and wash, over black chalk, on paper. The center oval is a separate piece of paper, laid down on an octagonal sheet now visible only at the verso; the narrow oval border joined at the lower center, its inner edge corresponding to the outline of he center oval, is attached to the octagonal sheet so that, on the recto, the whole appears as one complete oval.
