[Textband.]

1 picture

The record gives only a generic German title, Textband, and a Swiss library, so the picture alone must do the work. A woman in a loose robe and veil reclines in a garden beside a globe, dividers, and open books, with a domed rotunda among the trees behind her. The engraved line work, with dense hatching in the foliage and clear outlines on the figure, suggests a designer could borrow the scholarly-muse or learned-garden motif for an education or astronomy theme.
