Dutch Figure Drawings from the Seventeenth Century

About the exhibition

In 1981, National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. presented Dutch Figure Drawings from the Seventeenth Century. The surviving exhibition history documents Ignis by Hendrik Goltzius. This drawing is dated c. 1586; its recorded medium is pen and black ink over red chalk with gray and brown wash and white heightening on pink tinted paper, with pin pricks throughout the figure. These documented works provide a partial reconstruction of the exhibition’s selection; the complete original checklist and additional loans remain unconfirmed.
