About this work

Rectangle, subdivided into ten fields, which are themselves subdivided into ten small fields. Fourteen of those small fields are left empty (in seven of them cut-out pictures from another sheet are pasted), eighty-six are filled with small representations of a juridical nature. For example, short juridical sayings ('Iudicatum solvi'), transactions, contracts etc. are depicted. This sheet is part of a series of sheets with always (space for) ten times ten small juridical representations. Possibly concerns illustrations for a book.
