The present drawing is an example of an artist from Rembrandts circle studying an engraving of Christs Entombment by Andrea Mantegna (see 37.42.30). The draftsman focused on the Italian masters dynamic figures, such as the grief-stricken mourners in the foreground, and his characteristic diagonal hatching, leaving out other elements of the composition entirely..
