Gantz Neue Infensiones Von Unterschiedlichen Kleinigkeiten
Print from a series of six (incomplete) with designs for various small objects related to goldsmith's work. The print shows five designs. There are two circular designs, probably meant as lids for round boxes, possibly for snuff or tobacco. Both designs show a variant for the lower half. In between is another lid design with a small allegorical scene. Below are two designs, one for a decorative strip with landscapes and the other for a small flask. Scattered across the page are six natural renderings of various types of insects.
