Nerdy info for the curious: Bistre is a pigment made from the soot of burned beech wood and it was used by artists during the Renaissance before the introduction of sanguine and sepia. It behaves somewhat like watercolors, but it's a bit more unforgiving (at least that's what I think).

Anonymous, German, 18th century German Formerly attributed to Anonymous, Netherlandish, 17th century Netherlandish 18th century (?)

Some traditional art! My grandmother brought me bistre and I decided I'd do something with it (the first two paintings).
