| Description | The Young Saint John the Baptist probably dates to the 1650s like the painting in London mentioned elsewhere. There are also two drawings of Saint John from that period that accord stylistically with this one. The strongly shaded Youthful Saint John the Baptist, seated in Rocky Landscape, in a private collection, dates to this period (according to Jonathan Brown [Brown 2011, p. 271, cat. no. A22]). Although the wash in the drawing in the Library of Congress is less dramatic, the composition is almost the same in reverse and Murillo's characteristic nervous pen lines are evident. The Young Saint John the Baptist in the Prado (Brown, p. 273, cat. no. A24) is also stylistically consistent with this sheet: each reflects a lighter contrast of light and shade and a staccato pen line. |
