Oblique view into two rooms. At left, a kitchen where people are busy at work preparing a medicine (Guaiacum) against venereal disease. At right, in a bedroom, a man lying in bed drinks from a cup. Two men stand beside the bed, tending to him. This is a preparatory drawing for the "Hyacum et lues venera" print, plate 6 from Stradanus's Nova Reperta series, published in Antwerp by Philips Galle. Date: ca. 1590. Pen and brown ink, brush and gray and brown wash, black chalk on laid paper. Museum: Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.
