Nicolaes Maes

Nicolaes Maes belongs to the Dutch Golden Age, and his drawings here centre on figure studies and narrative scenes rendered in brown ink. Two sheets represent him in this archive, drawn with pen alone or with pen and brush, both finished with framing lines in the same brown ink. The Met dates these sheets to the middle of the seventeenth century, so the holdings reflect Maes's draughtsmanship from that period rather than later impressions.
