Catalogue Note
This accomplished drawing is very close in style to Barend van Orley, but not by him. Of the artists in van Orley's immediate circle, the one whose paintings seem closest in style and spirit to what we see here is the so-called St. Michael Master: for further information on this artist, see Yvette Bruijnen 'The Master of Saint Michael: a newly established group of paintings by an artist in the orbit of Bernard van Orley', Oud Holland, vol. 115, (2001/2002), pp. 79-110.
