Recueil d'Arras

The drawings are arranged by family or region, beginning with members of the English, Scottish and French royal families, the Hainault family and court, the Blois, the dukes and duchesses of Burgundy and the court of the Spanish Netherlands. The portraits are followed by series of warriors, ecclesiastics, writers and finally notable heretics.^[3]

The portraits including a self portrait by Hieronymus Bosch and a double portrait of Philip the Good and Charles the Bold, a copy of Jan van Eyck's Portrait of Baudouin de Lannoy and depictions of Margaret of York and Jacqueline, Countess of Hainaut, all of whom are named in the index contained in folios 1–4, a later addition probably based on notes Le Boucq made on the margins which have since been cut away.^[4] The only non-historical portraits are of (the unidentified) Laure de Noves and Petrarch on folio 27I verso. The drawing as are all on black or red chalk on paper. Nine are lost, while only torn fragments remain of a small number of others. It was originally foliated using Roman numerals, this was changed to Arabic numerals by a later scribe.^[2]
