Saint John the Evangelist

XVI century. Grey-brown wash, Pencil on yellow paper.
Not on display

The drawing depicts Saint John the Evangelist half-kneeling towards the left of the image with a parchment on which he writes. His head is raised, and the eagle is located between his legs.

This work accompanies a drawing of Saint Jerome in the National Library. This Saint John the Evangelist was for (or at least coincides with) a sculpture (0.54 in height) owned by a private individual in Madrid, as Angulo pointed out. Sánchez Cantón has assumed that these two drawings were possible studies for the Holy Week monument in the cathedral of Huesca. None of the fragments that survive today can be related to them.
