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

Standing Warrior in Fantastic Armour

c. 1509
Pen and black ink, over black chalk, 200 x 121 mm

This drawing is probably a re-creation of antique armour, inspired by studies in Rome. It can be dated to Gossart's trip to Rome or immediately after it.
