Genealogy of the Derrer Family
A 1626 painted genealogical chart of the Derrer family, made as a manuscript by an unnamed artist and held by the J. Paul Getty Museum, probably for family record and display. Its pictures are generation-by-generation panels: a gilded scroll heading, a branching tree bearing coats of arms on ribbon banners, and costumed standing figures in the corners, with rich colour and decorative lettering a designer could borrow for heraldic or period-style layouts.
