paper

Divided into two parts, the top shows two angels holding a crown and a banner that reads "LEGITIME CERTANTI." Below are the initials I.B. (for Iuan Brocar) and a scene depicting a gentleman attacking a lady. With his left hand he takes a lock of her hair and holds her arm with the right. The gentleman seems driven by a demon which places its hands on his back. In the background are plant forms and buildings.--Adapted and translated from the description in Catálogo de la colección Raymond Foulché-Delbosc de la Biblioteca Nacional de la República Argentina (see http://www.lllf.uam.es/~fmarcos/informes/BNArgentina/catalogo/fdcataim.htm)
