The Lamentation of Christ
Circle of Hans Baldung Grien
ca. 1513 · Pen and brush and gray brown ink. · Robert Lehman Collection
Until recently, this drawing in fragile condition was thought to have been a study by Baldung for a painted Lamentation (Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum, Innsbruck). It is now considered a copy of a lost Baldung drawing, which presumably was preparatory to the Innsbruck painting. The existence today of several other variant drawings related to the same picture attest to its broad popularity in the sixteenth century.
