Ten Spectators
techniek: Pen and Ink on Paper, 12.4 x 12.6 cm
Ten men watch an event that is not depicted in this drawing, but that seems to be happening in front of them. This drawing probably probably relates to a crowd such as the one Bosch depicted in his Ecce Homo scenes. Judging by their clothing, they are Middle Eastern, so it is fairly likely they are involved in a scene from the Passion. This drawing is now, for the first time in a long while, once more attributed to Bosch. It was used for the design of an engraving that dates back to 1557. On that print, Christ Carrying the Cross, Bosch is credited as the inventor of the depiction. |  |
