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

Bust of a Warrior in Fantastic Armour

This recently discovered drawing is closely related to Gossart's oeuvre. It was conceived under the influence of antique and Italian examples, and it was certainly created during Gossart's trip to Rome in 1508-09.
