The Presentation in the Temple c.1575
Pen and black ink with grey wash; indented for transfer | 12.0 x 8.1 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 904748

A drawing of Mary handing the Christ Child to Simeon, who stands behind the altar on the right. St Anne, kneeling on the left in front of St Joseph, presents a pair of doves (or pigeons); In the background are acolytes and spectators. Although nearly of the same size and in the same style, there is no reason to associate RCIN 904748 and 904749 with the Old Testament series (RCIN 904714-904742). Neither subject appears to have been engraved.
Provenance
First recorded in a Royal Collection inventory of c.1810 (Inv. A, p.18: 'Strada & old Masters 73 Drawings 55 pages')
