Study of the Christ Child 1495 Pen drawing, 172 x 215 mm Mus?e du Louvre, Paris D?rer's pen drawing of a Christ Child is based on a design by the Florentine painter Lorenzo di Credi, which the latter made use of in several works, and it may have been used as a preliminary study for his Virgin and Child (Magnani Collection, Mamiano near Parma). Although the body posture and gestures differ, the types of faces of the two Infant Christs in the painting and drawing are comparable.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Study of the Christ Child Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study

Caspar Sturm 1520 Silverpoint, 127 x 189 mm Mus?e Cond? Chantilly This is a leaf from the sketchbook of the trip to the Lowlands. The legend reads: "1520 Caspar Sturm alt 45 Jor zw ach gemacht" (1520, Caspar Sturm, 45 years old, done at Aix-la-Chapelle [Aachen]). The lighting is peculiar, the landscape is related to the portrait. It is conjectured that the word "toll" indicates a tollhouse. The drawing is mentioned in the journal of the trip to the Lowlands: "Ich hob den Sturm conterfet" (I did a portrait of Sturm).Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Caspar Sturm Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : portrait
