Catalogue Note
This accomplished drawing must relate to a sculpted figure of St. Sebastian, but whether it is a study for a sculpture or a record of an existing statue remains unclear. It is, though, a drawing of considerable quality, with evident Rubensian characteristics in terms of the modelling and handling, so it was probably made in Antwerp in the earlier years of the 17th century.
