David Teniers probably produced an oil study on canvas or panel (so-called pasticcio) of all the paintings in the collection of Leopold William of Austria, which served as models for the printmakers. It is not always clear whether the pasticci were made by him or by his studio. Not all pasticci have been handed down., 'Sedes Sapientiae', A monochrome engraving shows a seated woman wearing a head covering and long draped robes, holding a small child on her lap; the child is clothed in a simple garment and holds an open book while making a gesture with one hand, and both faces are rendered with calm, neutral expressions. The woman sits within an architectural frame featuring vertical panels and decorative columns with rounded finials; layered fabrics cascade over the woman's knees and down to the foreground, showing patterned and plain textures created by fine crosshatching. The background consists of hatched shading forming rectangular panels, and the image is bordered by a narrow rectangular frame set against a plain paper margin.
