    It looks like an arc on the top and the bottom has two feet and one of them rests on a globe or something. I looked at the list of watermarks in the NGV collection site and dont seem to see it. Is it normal to find a new watermark on his stuff or should it be already known mark?

    "The Fortuyn paper mill was owned by Van der Lay and his family from 1774 to 1837, during which time the mill used the 'Fortune figure' and similar watermarks. The papers in the Gallery's collection bearing the 'Fortune figure' watermark were probably made at the Fortuyn mill during that period."
