Saint Sebastian,

mid-17th century

formerly attributed to Alonso Miguel de Tovar, Spanish, 1678 - 1758

This sheet was attributed to Alonso Miguel de Tovar (1678-1758) in "Acquisitions of the Princeton University Art Museum 2002," Record of the Princeton University Art Museum 62 (2003): p. 123. Lisa A. Banner states that this drawing and its accompanying image of Saint Roch (2002-100) "shares the light application of wash and loose outlines of the figures of those saints by Pedro Núñes de Villavicencio (1635-1695)...[The] similarity in execution suggests the Princeton drawings may have been made around the same time for a religious client in Andalusia..."
