[Emblematical drawing of Marie Stewart, wife of John Erskine, Earl of Mar] : [graphic]

Image not available

Description
A pen and ink emblematical drawing of Marie Stewart (approximately 1582-1644), the wife of John Erskine, Earl of Mar, building a brick edifice, with dividers, measure rule and angle-iron; headed "Sapiens Mvlier Aedificat Domv[m]". Signed by Esther Inglis. A dedicatory verse in Latin by Inglis' husband, Bartholomew Kello, to John, Earl of Mar (1558-1634), is at the head of the drawing. Two verses to Marie Stewart, one in Latin and the other in French follow the drawing. The Latin verse is probably by Kello, the French verse is copied from the one accompanying this image in Montenay's Emblemes. There it applies to Jeanne d'Albret, Queen of Navarre. Inglis changes the word "Reine" to "Dame," referring to the Countess of Mar. The image and subject was previously misidentified as Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots (1542-1587).

    [Drawing of left leg and 15 lines of verse] : [graphic, manuscript]

    Manuscripts

    Black chalk drawing of left leg accompanied by 15 lines of verse in brown ink. Both in the hand of Michelangelo Buonarroti. Depicts a left leg slightly bent, with thigh, knee and part of the calf visible. The drawing has been identified by some scholars as a study for the Last Judgement. A second faint sketch of an architectural detail lies in the center of the page, near lines 8-12 of the verse. The verse has been identified as fragments of one or two madrigals written by Michelangelo, probably a draft of "gli sguardi che mi strazji."
