[French school] figure studies. Second half 17th c Drawing, pencil, 21,2 x cm, laid paper with watermark (letters AI, Heawood: 3001), unsigned (frayed around edges, some foxing, sm. dark stain at upper right and left corners, not affecting the image). Interesting sheet with small drawing of single figures or figure groups. Mostly soldiers or hunters, but also a washing lady, a group of talking men, a young man resting on his back. Expertly drawn. Probably a preparatory study for a larger composition with multiple figures. The clothing of the soldiers and noblemen point towards a French origin of the artist.
