20786Pen and grey and brown ink grey wash on laid paper on an archival mount. Fine condition. Sheet size: 18 x 23 7/8 inches. Provenance: Dr. C.A. Pompe; G. Meijer; L. Houthakker with his collector's mark at lower right corner not in Lugt. A beautiful and very rare drawing of one of the most beautiful "Wunderkammern" of the day which later became the property of the Empress of Russia.<br/> <br/> This drawing shows the interior of the cabinet of curiosities of Catharina van Grovestins-von Schutz in the family house in The Hague. There is another earlier drawing of the same cabinet by the artist Daniel Marot the Younger 1695-1769 dated 1756 and currently in the collection of the Gemeentearchief in The Hague. This earlier drawing shows the interior just after it was completed but before the expanding collection necessitated certain improvements that are shown in the present drawing: additions include a shaped central cabinet bearing what may be a portrait bust of Catharina van Grovestins-von Schutz. Other improvements include the display shelves for taxidermy specimens that have been added between the built-in display cases and the architrave above; and the central bracketed display of coral and shells that was added above the fireplace. Catharina lady-in-waiting to Princess Anna of Orange employed the talents of the well-known naturalist and collector Arnout Vosmaer to help assemble the Cabinet. Vosmaer later commented in his memoirs that the cabinet was 'one of the most beautiful collections . covering every domain of nature" and noted that it was eventually sold to the Empress of Russia. The present drawing may perhaps have been intended as part of the successful attempt to sell the collection to the Empress The earliest cabinets were gathered together in the 16th century. They initially represented a genuine attempt to begin to understand the natural world but also came to be seen as an expression of the power and influence of the owner: the larger the 'wunderkammer' the more important the owner. They were the precursor to today's museums the most famous in England being the collection of Elias Ashmole 1617-1692. His private collection founded by the naturalist John Tradescant circa 1570-1638 was presented to Oxford University and opened to the public on 24 May 1683 as the Ashmolean Museum. One of the best known American examples was the Peale Museum founded in Philadelphia in 1784 for Charles Wilson Peale a painter and a scientist. His son Rembrandt Peale more famous today as a portrait painter subsequently established a 'branch' of the Peale Museum in Baltimore Maryland and this is now the oldest museum building in the Western hemisphere. The museum differed from the earlier more private collections in that it was always the Peales' intention to open the museum to the public. In its heyday the show included 90 specimens of mammals more than 700 bird specimens mounted in 'naturalistic' mini-dioramas a whole room of marine specimens about 4000 insects numerous minerals as well as their famous mammoth skeleton the first such display as well as scores of Peale's portraits.<br/> <br/> Cf.

189013411890. Ink and gouache with gold heightening on fibrous brown laid paper with a Jaipur Court Fee tax stamp in purple ink on the recto 13 1/4 x 8 7/8 inches 336 x 226 mm. Toning handling creases and minor scattered surface soiling throughout. There are scattered coeval inscriptions in ink on the recto and verso. A traditional Indian butter churn is operated by rapidly pulling a rope which turns a paddled spindle. The paddles churn cows milk inside a large jar until milk solids form. Ghee is made from cow milk butter which is treated with low heat until the water evaporates leaving behind milk solids. The solids are skimmed off or strained if needed. Ghee is a staple food on the Indian subcontinent and as a cooking oil it is the most widely used food in India apart from wheat and rice. Because of its exalted status at Hindu weddings ghee is expensive and in high demand. Male wedding guests are expected to compete with each other to see who can eat the most of it; consuming two pounds or more at a sitting is considered a proof of virility. <br /> <br /> On the stamp:<br /> <br /> The first revenue stamps in India were issued in the mid-nineteenth century during the Raj and they are still being issued to this day. Apart from issues for the whole of India many princely states provinces and other states also had or still have their own revenue stamp issues. Before independence Indian revenue stamps were closely modeled on similar designs from Great Britain as is the case with this carriage motif stamp from Jaipur. The stamps were issued to denote various denominations including rupees and annas. An anna or Änna was a currency unit formerly used in British India equal to 1â„16 of a rupee. It was subdivided into four old Paisa or twelve pies thus there were 192 pies in a rupee. When the rupee was decimalized and subdivided into 100 new paise one anna was therefore equivalent to 6.25 paise. This particular stamp was used as evidence of court taxes remitted for property dealings. unknown
