A drawing of Josiah standing, full length, in a landscape, wearing a cloak and armour; he has a sword at his side and a crown and turban on his head; Josiah (King of Judah, and an active reformer) is probably holding the book of the law open in his left hand. Inscribed below: . IOSIAS . This drawing is from a series of thirty four scenes from the Old Testament which, with the exception of RCIN 904742, served as preparatory drawings for 33 of the 39 engravings in reverse by Johannes Sadeler the Elder (Hollstein , XXI, pp.96-7, nos.72-110), designed to illustrate L.Hillesemius, Sacrarum Antiquitatum (Antwerp, 1577).
