Anonymous, Dutch, 17th century

Anonymous Dutch draftsman of the seventeenth century is represented here by a single sheet, A Young Acolyte Bearing a Staff. The drawing is executed in black chalk heightened with white on blue paper, a technique well suited to the period's figure studies and religious subjects. This collection holds one such work, an example of Dutch seventeenth-century draughtsmanship rather than of any named hand.
