Artist, French, 1592 - 1635

This is a drawing of three figures dressed in flowing garments and hats with feathers. The figures are sketched in a minimalistic style, standing in an evenly spaced row, each facing outward. Each figure's attire is elaborately detailed, suggesting movement through the dynamic folds of their robes and the angle of their hats. The drawing utilizes a monochrome palette, highlighting the fine, intricate line work that gives depth and texture to the clothing and hats. The background is left undetailed. Below the figures, there is an inscription in a decorative script that reads: "Cum Privile Reg. Israel excudit."
