Annotatie
Collection of 66 drawings after decorations made by Primaticcio and his school in royal and noble houses in and around Paris. The drawings, some of which are counterproofs, were traditionally attributed to Theodoor van Thulden. His stay in Paris around 1631-1633 is documented and he published a series of studies after the mural decorations of the 'Galerie d'Ulysse' in Fontainebleau in print.
In 1990, Jeremy Wood has convincingly attributed these drawings, and many more to be found in collections across Europe, to Abraham van Diepenbeeck. The latter appears to have been in Paris around the same time.

Band (annotatie)
This collection of drawings was originally kept in an album. At some point after 1990 the album has been dismantled and all drawings have been put on separate mounts. There is no trace of the album, and apparently no record of the treatment has been kept at the time. Wood 1990 states that the album contained 66 drawings on 64 folios. (Wood 1990 p. 45, note 35)
