Christ on the Cross with Mary and St John c.1575
Pen and black ink with grey wash; indented for transfer | 12.0 x 8.4 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 904749
-
A drawing of Christ on the cross, in the centre, with St John standing on the left and the Virgin on the right; at the foot of the cross is a skull and a bone. Jerusalem is visible in the distance. 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')
