LUCAS VAN LEYDEN
(b. 1494; d. 1533)
PORTRAIT OF A YOUNG MAN
British Museum, 1892-8-4-12. (From the W. H. Barnard Collection.) Charcoal.
38-3 x 25-8 cm. (15 x 10| in.)
THE paper, stained brown, has been damaged and repaired in many places without serious
detriment to the drawing itself. The signature and date, L 1513, are genuine; the
inscription on the arch is illegible.
The drawing was preserved till 1892, with nine others by the same artist, in a black
leather volume entitled LUCAS. TEEKENINGE 1637. The volume was bound for an
unknown Dutch collector, who also possessed the Durer drawings and MSS. afterwards
acquired by Sir Hans Sloane, and a number of volumes, uniformly bound and dated,
containing prints or drawings by Aldegrever, Amman, Bolten of Zwoll, Gerung, Stimmer,
and other artists.
