1642
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Title Page for "Agreable diversite de figures" is a 1642 ink by Stefano Della Bella, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a black-and-white drawing framed by a wreath of leaves and scrollwork. At the top sits a shield with horizontal stripes and a crown. Below the shield, text reads *"Agreable diversite de figures"* and names a person and a place. The bottom line says *"A Paris Chez Israel Henriette"* with a small royal privilege mark. The text hints this was a book title page, likely for a collection of prints. The crown and shield suggest it was made for someone with noble ties. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Della Bella made detailed prints.
Stefano della Bella (18 May 1610 – 12 July 1664) was an Italian draughtsman and printmaker known for etchings of a great variety of subjects, including military and court scenes, landscapes, and lively genre scenes.
