Description A Scholar Treads on a Market Woman's Basket of Eggs, marginal drawing by Hans Holbein the Younger.jpg |
English:
A Scholar Treads on a Market Woman's Basket of Eggs
, pen and ink marginal drawing in a copy of
The Praise of Folly
by
Desiderius Erasmus
.
This is the third of 82 marginal drawings that include the first works of Holbein to survive intact. He and his brother, Ambrosius , drew them in the copy of The Praise of Folly owned by classical scholar Oswald Myconius , who planned to show the result to the author, his friend Erasmus. Most of the sketches, including this one, are by Hans Holbein, whose style and left-handed hatching identify him from Ambrosius. Here a scholar turns to look at a young woman and in so doing steps on a market woman's basket of eggs. References
