GOSSART, Jan
(b. ca. 1478, Maubeuge, d. 1532, Middelburg)

The Presentation in the Temple

1520s
Pen and brown ink, brush and brown in, brown wash on brown paper, 394 x 165 mm
Kunsthalle, Hamburg

This drawing was meant as a 'modello', or contract drawing to be presented to a patron. Even if a painting based on the drawing was never realised, Gossart certainly seems to have intended to make one.
