La Tribune De l'Art has published an in-depth article on five works recently acquired by the Fondation Custodia in Paris. The rare sixteenth century drawings seem to have come from an album that was commissioned from artist Lambert Lombard by Emperor Charles V. The museum acquired the works in 2019 from the Berlin dealer Nicolaas Teeuwisse.
