Way to Calvary
Ca. 1600. Wash, Pencil, Pencil ground, Grey-brown ink on yellow paper. Not on displayThis good drawing appears to be by an artist active in the Veneto, or nearby, around 1600. Florian Härb has kindly pointed out some echoes of Palma Giovane´s figure types, for example in the head of the soldier about to strike Christ´s back with a club. On the other hand, the fluid penwork and light greyish wash is also found in the work of the Veronese draftsman Bernardino India (1528-1590).
