Motto: DEEST AVRA PARATO Even for those who are prepared, sometimes an essential element is missing (such as 'favor' or the 'breeze' that drives progress). This phrase could be a reflection or aphorism suggesting that being ready is not always enough without the positive influence of circumstances or luck. Date added in brown ink; motto also; four winds with familiar faces, see the Berlin (cat. 1.03) larger drawing on parchment.
No musical work linked.
