Design for a Condiment Dish, Johannes Lutma (1584-1669) (attributed to), c. 1640 - c. 1650

black and white chalk, on paper toned brownish-green, h 273mm × w 198mm Catalogue entry

All of the parts of this dish have been deformed into auricular shapes. In this drawing Lutma manages to convey the ambiguous, fluent nature of kwab ornament. The dish itself is tilted to show that it accommodates four containers for spices. The drawing thus provides a maximum of information for prospective clients as well as the silversmith.
