DescriptionDescription: Pen and brown ink, brown wash, 72 x 47 mm. No watermark. Chain lines: 23 mm. Numbered in the upper right corner, in pen and brown ink, 1821 (Sparre) and in the lower right corner 207 (struck out). Mark of the Royal Collection (Lugt 1638). According to Kruse, several scholars connected this drawing with a woodcut ascribed to Lievens, and Saxl is reported to have given the drawing to Lievens as well. Snickare (Stockholm 1992) suggests Bol, comparing the sheet to his drawing of a standing oriental in this collection, as well as to other drawings by Bol, such as Nathan Exhorting David at Windsor, and a Bearded Old Man (Nathan?) in Munich. The model is probably the same as in a Standing High Priest in Wrocław. [Magnusson, Dutch Drawings no. 83]
