Description
A draughtsman uses a 'vetri piani' or glass table device. A glass plate in a wooden window is placed upright between the draughtsman and his model. With a grease pen, the outline of the image is drawn on the glass. This drawing is then transferred to paper. The instrument was recommended by Leonardo da Vinci for drawing landscapes. With Dürer, it is used for drawing a portrait. (Rijksmuseum description, translated)
