Netherlandish School, late 16th century
Studies of three groups of figures c.1575-1600
-
A drawing of a number of unrelated figure groups which appear to be copied from other works. In the foreground there is a half-naked man and woman with three children, and behind, to the right, a naked woman and man. In the background is a series of bearded figures(apostles?). This drawing comes quite close in style and technique to the circle of Hendrick Goltzius. Inscribed in the lower left cormer: 3[?]1.
