DescriptionDescription: Pencil, black chalk, pen and brown ink, brown wash, 225 x 280 mm. Ruled framing lines in black ink. Vertical fold in the centre. Watermark: Foolscap. Chain lines: 24 mm. Inscribed at the lower left, in pencil, Herman Sachtleven 249. Mark of J. G. De la Gardie (Lugt 2722a). Copy after a drawing in the Louvre. The space left blank at the bottom suggests that the copy was intended to be engraved. The drawing is similar in character to a series of four etchings after Saftleven by Jan van Almeloveen. They all feature clumsy figures and heavy outlines. [Magnusson, Dutch Drawings no. 398]
