Lot Essay

Professor Bolten, who has kindly confirmed th attribution and will include this in his catalogue raisonné, points out that this is related to a less detailed version of the same subject in the Collection De Grez, Musées Royales des Beaux Arts, Brussels (inv.no. 351). In size it corresponds with a larger group of drawings of Saints by Bloemaert which were engraved for several series of prints
