Endpaper with Scenes of the Trades

Paul Reimund

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing displaying various scenes in separate vignettes on a single plane. The drawing features multiple figures engaging in different activities. The scenes are arranged horizontally, creating the effect of a narrative scroll. The image uses limited color, with the main visual elements in a tone similar to red, orange, or rust against a pale background. This gives the work an antique appearance, suggesting it may be an etching or engraving in a traditional illustrative style.
