A drawing of St Veronica, eyes downcast and head inclined slightly to the right, holding up her imprinted handkerchief. Inscribed lower left: Willibors inv; lower right: Overlaet ft.; and below centre: Respice in faciem Christi tui. This is a work after Thomas Williborts, called Bosschaert. RCIN 912989-912991 may have been intended for engraving as loose prayer-book markers, although it is also likely that they were meant as drawings imitating engravings.
