Catalogue Note
Gabriele Finaldi dates this drawing on stylistic grounds to the 1630s, when Ribera's pen style becomes more schematic and less fluid. He suggests it might have been made in connection with a painting such as the Martyrdom of St. Philip (1639, Madrid, Prado) in which similarly posed soldiers appear.
