Description & Technical information
This drapery study is closely related to a drawing of a Seated Woman of c.1600-1605 in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. The drapery in both drawings is nearly identical, with only minor differences, and the present sheet may have been drawn from a posed model and later served as the basis for the more fully developed drawing in Stockholm.
