97. – This original antique print shows a statue of a caryatid or canephore looking straight ahead, left arm missing. The statue, one of a group of four statues, is now in the Glyptothek in Munich. The four statues are late Roman adaptations, which cannot be dated before the third century. The etching is in reverse and was made after a drawing by Jacques de Gheyn III, which was in the possession of Jan Wtenbogaert in Amsterdam. Neither this drawing nor any intermediary drawings by De Bisschop have been traced. The statue is not included in the list of contents and locations, which means he did not know where it was. In his ‘Address to the Spectator’ he explicitly says that De Gheyn’s drawings were not made in Italy, he obviously thought the statue had left Italy for England or France, after Cavalieri’s book was published and before De Gheyn made his drawing.
